English 10: Your typed, edited essay introduction is due . . .

If you were absent today, be sure to contact a homework buddy as you missed THE most important lesson of the year: HOW TO CHANGE A QUOTATION LOG INTO AN ESSAY.

Tues: Bring two printed copies of your introduction. One to hand in for marks, the other to use to write your body paragraphs during class tomorrow.

Bring a laptop if possible. I have 13 computers in the room.

Have an electronic copy of your introduction available as well so that you can copy and paste the body paragraph topic sentences from your introduction to your body paragraphs.

Tonight: As you edit, re-read the sample introductions I gave you in the two packages. Use vocabulary from our list. Focus on sentence variety, strong verbs and synonyms. Repeat the thesis in the final line with an emotional tone. Don't forget to italicize the title of the novel.

Double space.
Thanks for being such an amazing class!
