Write, Write, Write 'dem proposals!

Starter

1. What questions do you have about the format for the proposal essay? (Since I wasn't here yesterday, I want to be sure we're all good here!) Essay guidelines are listed on yesterday's blog and on the handout the sub gave you yesterday in class!
2. Rate your confidence in your ability to set up (introduce) quotes perfectly in a persuasive essay ​​​ 0: NO CLUE, 1: I have an idea, but I know I mess it up all the time, 2: I have it pretty close but could use a quick refresher, 3: I'm a golden god/goddess when it comes to introducing quotes and do not need any help on this. 
3. If you selected 3, please be ready to prove your golden god/goddess status with evidence from a piece of writing (prior to a teacher's feedback).
