Bell Ringer:

Look at your order of events from the video we watched in the class. Which of these things are most important in a community? Support your answer.

Did your bell ringer response use critical thinking? Did you support your opinion with reasons?

On the ELPA21 assessment, your writing and speaking is assessed using this standard:

I need volunteers to read the definitions.
