Week 10


Good Evening.

  It is week ten, which means of course that we have just one week to completion of the quarter.  Thus far you have been assigned a total of 7 essays;  the in-class final and your project remain.

The final piece, a short research piece of 1000 words plus documentation, is due by next week.  I will be looking at drafts today and will review with you the documentation requirements and formatting of the Works Cited page.  Rewrites and any outstanding assignments must be submitted by next week.


 A short "final" of 400-500 words will assess key composition skills and formatting of sources for presentation.

Directions:  Use summary and direct quotation from the article "Your Words Matter," by Jaime Cone, posted at Salon.com.  Title the summary/response and double-space the lines.  Provide the MLA Work Cited item at the bottom of the document.
