Tonight: Type up the BEST copy of your essay possible. Edit it for typing errors. Check that
you have met all the literary must-haves from our list. Use strong verbs, good sentence variety, fabulous synonyms, great quote integration to prove your point with a persuasive and academic tone!!
Tomorrow, bring a copy that you PRINT OUT before class. Make sure it is double spaced.
Edit the introductions using my suggestions before hand, of course.
We will peer edit. You will have time to work on your essays and we will create a cover page for the essay during class.
We will also have time to go to the library and pick out new USSR books. Yay.
Ms. Wadsworth has worked hard to create new displays so that will help.

They created this project as a result of their English 10 assessment page: what else do I want to do to expand my English skills so if you have an idea, do let me know and we'll make sure to manifest your idea.
I know that Stephanie has already applied to be a reading buddy at the Greater Victoria Public Library, for example.
