We’ll also spend plenty of time getting used to being in front of people and learning exactly how to give a great speech.
We’ll read a novella (“Of Mice and Men”), some mythology (“The Odyssey”), and a Shakespearean play (“Hamlet”). With all of that comes a persuasive essay, a narrative essay, and a research paper.]]> 2018-03-08 06:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lnillas/er9moubtw328/wish/239512915 English 2: Communication https://padlet.com/lnillas/er9moubtw328/wish/239512944
