Where are you at with your 5 paragraph essay so far? How is it coming? Is it easy to write? Difficult to write? Is it helpful that you created an outline first? Explain.

I am not very far only about halfway through with the second paragraph. It is going okay, my sources would not work last class period though. It is pretty easy to write because I have so many sources and information. The outline is very helpful because I know what to write about next.

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!

I went to the Sweetheart at Blue Valley West because one of my friends from my church asked me. We met at her house for pictures that lasted FOREVER. After pictures a mom of one of the girls in our group drove us to Garozzo's for dinner. I had fettuccine alfredo and it was delicious! After dinner we went to the dance. I didn't know that many people there so it was kind of boring but  it wasn't to bad. I was too tired to go to an after party so I just went home after the dance.
