Greetings all.
As you all finish writing blocks for everyone in the class, here is checklist. This will not cover every block you will want to write, but it should get you started on getting things organized.
When writing blocks, remember to write in an argument that uses evidence already read to help with the argument.
AT = answers to, so this block is used to answer the argument.
ext = extension block
When writing 1n blocks vs. the stock issues, make sure you also write extension blocks for as many of the individual 1N arguments as you can
