Hi Tyler!
Sorry that I did not answer your email sooner. For the essay outline, write down what reasons you are going to use in the body of your essay.
In the outline page, you should write the title of your essay, the thesis statement (the last sentence you will use in your lead) and 3 reasons you will write about in the body of your essay.
By the way, you had good ideas presented in your "Going Green" essay. I will be giving you back my teacher comments tomorrow so you can work on your final revisions. :)
If you have more questions about the taxation essay, please email me your comments. I will be checking the blog again tonight.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

Dear ?,
The last song for our dance is called Macarena. Also, I was just notified on Friday, that our school dress rehearsal will be on Wednesday from 8:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m.
Yes, the rehearsal is for the entire school so each grade level will be practicing their performance on that day. Hopefully it will end at 10:00 a.m.!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz
