Time to Write

Hey Everyone!

Yesterday you did not get a lot of writing time in class, so I want to give you that opportunity today.

You have resources to use IF you need them.

Things to watch out for in your essay:

  1. CITE your evidence!!
  2. No huge quotes. Quote only a few words or a sentence at most. Longer than that and you should be paraphrasing or summarizing. (See post below from Monday/Tuesday.)
  3. Make sure your name, date and period are filled out at the top of your essay. 
  4. Do not number or label your paragraphs.

Reminders:
If you missed the Socratic seminar, it is your responsibility to talk to me after class, at lunch, or after school about how you can make up those points.

Your final book review is due on June 10.

If there's no score in Powerschool, I haven't graded it, and I do not know exactly when that will be done. I apologize, but please be patient. I will put those in as soon as possible.
