The Final Stretch

What's life without a Star Wars reference? ;)

Here's what the next few days should have looked like, prior to our "snow" day:

Thursday: our last official conference block. Share your paper with AS MANY PEOPLE as possible. 

Multiple perspectives are key when writing and drafting a research paper. Make sure to look at the guiding questions that have been posted on the board. These will help you make constructive and HELPFUL comments to your classmates. 

Comments that merely correct grammar or only compliment a paper are not very useful.

The final packet was due by the end of the day Friday and should include:

• Significantly different drafts (at least two)
• Correctly formatted works cited page (last page of paper)
• Evidence of conferencing (at least three people)
• Revised annotated bibliography (see handout)
• Letter of reflection about process, change of topics, ideas about other multigenre writings, etc. 

Thursday's snow day did affect our schedule (though you could have been working on it at home...), so the due date for your papers has been changed accordingly and no points will be deducted. However, if you do turn it in before Spring Break, kudos.

If you have any questions about the assignment, please read over the recent blog posts. You can also email Ms. James, but if you've been in class, you know what is expected of you. And even if you've missed a lot of class--those SCHOOL-RELATED absences do NOT dismiss you from the requirements and due dates of this course.

Good luck!
