Today, we learned how to write a conclusion. I've copied the handout below so make sure you read it and follow the steps carefully.
Monday: An edited, typed, double space first draft of your essay is DUE. We will be peer editing. If you do not have an essay here on Monday, you will miss out on a crucial step needed for revision.
YOU WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO PRINT THE ESSAY IN CLASS.
PRINT IT IN THE LIBRARY BEFORE 9 A.M.
If you have trouble with your computer, handwrite the essay but be sure to double space and make it neat.
Sunday night: Use the checklists below to ensure that you have included all the key criteria for the introduction, the three body paragraphs and the conclusion. Check off each item as you find it in your essay.
Also, use the following handouts to guide your revision:
1. How to cite
2. Literary must haves
3. How to integrate quotations
4. The three sample paragraphs on the Pigman
These forms are also on the English website: www.claremont-school.ca/english
There are no excuses. Spartans are responsible for their own learning. Arrive on Monday with good, hard questions about your essay.
You will have two nights, Monday and Tuesday, to make final revisions.
GOOD COPY stapled to the draft due WEDNESDAY, April 6.
QUOTE LOG: Good copy due Wednesday, April 6.
