Ashton is working on an essay due (tentatively) around March 10
The essay can be seen at www.TINYURL.com/ashtoncalm Ashton demonstrated the use of GRADPOINT, completing nearly 30 minutes of instruction

Note the "false choices" that I offered him in the second video.

Expository and Narrative and Persuasive essays were discussed.
