Class Notes for November 18, 2009

I posted some content from last week below, and collected the homework assignment of page 212 practice 1 A and B from anyone who didn't turn it in last week. Compare/Contrast Papers were returned to all students who had done them with evaluation worksheets attached. Some of these papers had no Outline, no References list ("Works Cited" list) and other parts missing. For that reason, I asked some (and all) to make any changes that you can to improve the paper and earn more points as you perfect it! You may make corrections to your final draft and produce a Corrected Final Draft and turn it in to me. I will happily accept a Corrected Final Draft and will re-score the Project Folder with your new work!

Page 311 Practice 2 was given as homework, and some peoplestarted working on it in class. I will pick it up next week. It is acceptable to use a "citation generator" to help you learn to format it properly.

As I said last week, you should try to review Chapters 8, 14, and 15 outside of class. We are looking forward to Chapter 9, the Argumentative Essay as a large final assignment, so begin to prepare by thinking of topics you would like to write about, and by doing some research.
