SENIORS: I know it's tough, but you need to push through! Give yourself time to write every day--don't just rely on class time to reach your word count. Thanksgiving break is coming up; some of you will be able to take advantage of that and some of you won't--plan your time accordingly.
SOPHOMORES: As you look through your notes and craft your essay, make sure you are checking the prompt: remember, there are certain requirements that have to be present in order for you to receive a good grade. Ask yourself these questions: Do I have an example of logos? Do I have an example of ethos? Do I have three different types of evidence? Is my essay written in MLA style? Have I created a Works Cited page? Have I cited my sources correctly? The due date for full credit is this Friday, Nov.21, at the end of the period. Of course, if you need to, you can continue to work on your essay after that time, but it will be late and your score will drop one grade.
