A wise man once said:
“A paper is never done, only due.”
With that, we will revise our writing, so we can
write good and think more smarter. :OP
1.Peer-Edit/Proofread Articles
2. 2 Essential Questions (turn in to tray TODAY)
Essential Questions ask what the main points of your article are. What do you want the reader to take away as the most important ideas? 
For example, with a topic such as "Anti-Immigration Sentiment": 1) Which recent immigrant groups were being targeted at that time? (German Americans) 2) In what ways was anti-immigration sentiment demonstrated? (Loss of jobs for German-Americans, name changes of people, towns, foods, like from hamburger to "liberty steak/sandwich", violence, etc.)
