Dear Writing Class,
I am so sorry to have to miss our last meeting before the holiday but I have left you in good hands, Mrs. Dellanno. Today you will peer edit your paragraphs from last week using the rubric. You can still download the rubric in the attachment section below. Your task is to help your partner achieve an A on this assignment. Carefully read each others essay checking the rubric to make sure everything was done correctly. Mrs. Dellanno will give you further direction. She may even ask for volunteers to share their work!
I hope to see you in the hallways before Christmas vacation. If I miss you,
Merry Christmas Have a wonderful and HEALTHY vacation =)
