For today, Monday, March 12
After reading summaries of the other three Tia Lola books that Julia Alvarez has published, write a short essay (3-4 paragraphs) to convince Mrs. Edrington which of the books should be purchased for our school library. Compose your essay in a Microsoft Word document (Start, Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word) and save your work so that you can edit and finish tomorrow if needed. Remember to use correct capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and spelling.
