Biography book for persuasive paper

ELA6R1 and ELA6W2.c  Students will choose a book from our media center on December 6 that is a biography or an autobiography of an admirable person.  Over the next several weeks including the holiday break, students will read the book and find other information about their chosen subject.  In January students will return to school ready to write a persuasive paper about why this person should be chosen as essential for the times.
