SENIORS: Continue writing your novel. You should try to write more than you normally would, as next week is Thanksgiving break and you might not have the time then. Of course, some of you might be able to use the break to really "take off" with your writing; just be aware of this big chunk of time coming up and how might be able to use it to your advantage.
I'm still checking Nano packets, so bring yours tomorrow.
SOPHOMORES: At this point, you should have most, if not all, of your research done. Now is the time to start crafting your Expository essay. There are a couple of ways to go about this. Some people like to begin at the beginning, so click on this link for the list of "hooks" authors use to introduce their topics.
If you're having trouble thinking of a start to your essay, think about how you are going to organize your information: look at your evidence and appeals to see if you can figure out which text structures to use. Find the text structure handout you received at the beginning of this unit to help you.
Remember, the due date for this essay is Friday, Nov. 21.
