we are learning something new
What is a SMAART answer?
This is a way to write an impressive and complete short essay answer.
It involves:
1. Write complete sentences that don't have spelling or punctuation mistakes.
2. Make sure your answer is accurate, of course.
2. Avoid starting your sentence with "because."
3. Rephrase the question in your answer. (You basically have permission to actually copy part of the question in your answer! Wow!)
4. Take time to add some details. (This is the part where you can show off your knowledge!)
