The document discusses the agenda for an English class. It states that they will discuss introductions and conclusions for persuasive essays after analyzing evidence in body paragraphs from a previous class. Students are asked to take out their three body paragraphs for review and write a character introduction in their journal as a writing exercise. The homework includes completing a rough draft of the essay, preparing a presentation, independent reading, and performing acts of kindness.
