This was our literature circle on our book of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents in ELA. We each had a job on what to do like summarizing the chapters, illustrating part of the story, and plucking out vocabulary words to discuss it all with the book. It helped us to summarize the book and help us better understand different perspectives on the book.
For this essay, we had to choose a topic on a conflict of our choice that is or was happening. I chose the topic of gun violence centered around school shootings. We had to use in-text citations throughout our essays as well as a "Works Cited" page at the bottom in MLA format. First, we had to choose a topic we were passionate about. Then, we had to research using the website "Galileo". After, we had to draft an intro paragraph, and create citations to put in our essay. Lastly, we had to construct the essay using in-text citations as well as correct punctuation and grammar.
