This week we begin a new chapter in the writing class. 
We move into the world of arguments.

Zoom meeting 

(This Zoom message is repeated on the Listening Lesson plan)

Got a question?

I'll be sitting in the Zoom room watching the digital tide roll away. Come by your Listening Period on Wednesday.

You know books?

Which famous writer began a novel with these lines?

Maman died today. 
Or yesterday maybe, I don't know.

The answer (and a free ebook).

Part 1 Correlations

What is a correlation? Get the answer to that question in this mini-lesson.

Part 2 Cause and Effect

Correlation is not causation. That is your mantra. Learn the difference in this mini-lesson.

Part 3 Writing Activity

A fine example of scaffolding, this writing assignment builds on the knowledge and skills you gathered in parts 1 and 2.

There is only one writing assignment this week. 

Can you guess why? 

Read the instructions below and the answer will be clear.

Please give your best effort on the first draft. After feedback, I will ask you to write a second draft.
