Author in progress

My Emerson writing,  I think I did pretty well. The first question was a bit confusing because it was asking for 3 things , and I got kind of confused. It took me a while figure it out . The mind map helped me out with some questions. Most of all I think I did well on the Emerson test.

Team Vocabulary

The presidential debate was aggravating the American people. Donald Trumps supporters are hypnotized by the things he says. He also accused Hilary for being a liar and he would put her in jail if he becomes president. His ideas will transform America to chaos. I think Donald Trump should be suspended from from the debate for not acting professional. The future with trump will be melancholy for the citizens. Meanwhile others are anticipating Hillary Clinton plans will be good for the country.

Letter to mentor

Dear Historian,
     I got a big question that I've been thinking lately. Was America really great? Was the past of this nation great , did a lot of good things happen ? Why does Trump think that America was Great. Did we all get along at one point ? I'm just trying to look for an answer or anything that can help me understand.
                      Sincerely, Leo O.
