SWBAT: understand elements in a persuasive argument

RESPONSIBILITY

REFLECTIONAnswer all three—try to make it one paragraph.

1. Does your reading lexile represent who you are as a student? (does it match how you are in the

classroom/efforts?)

2. What is your responsibility now that you know this information in black and white? (were you surprised?

Do you know you need to work harder, or do you think you can just coast now?)

3. How do you stay motivated either way?

If you did this, go here Google: Matthew Hansen/ “Words Matter”

and read.
