Mrs. Hendrix's presentation today on technical writing was great. Students categorized/organized a large selection of words and phrases into groups having to do with technical writing. Then they adjusted their groups as Mrs. Hendrix lead the discussion about technical writing. Ask your son/daughter for some examples of technical writing they have used in the past 24 hours.

We did not get to work in the academy lab today, so students will continue to work on the final copy of their research paragraphs tomorrow, and we will read them

BONUS POINTS - Write a paragraph describing how you (not people in general) have used technical writing over this past week. Include both topic and clincher sentences, and specific examples.

Paraphrasing to avoid plagiarism
