Week 9







 

The man who has forgotten to be thankful has fallen asleep in life.”   
                                                                                           –Robert Louis Stevenson


 It is week nine, which means of course that we have just two weeks to completion of the quarter.  Thus far you have been assigned a total of 7 essays;   your short research project (7), and the in-class final (8) remain.  The in-class final is to be done in class week 11, not at home.  Today we will look at the field reports due today and after discussing potential topics and directions and the MLA guidelines for source integration, begin drafting the short report.  It should be finished by the end of class next week.

  I can look at drafts today of work in progress, time permitting, and review the documentation requirements and formatting of the Works Cited page.  Rewrites and any outstanding assignments must be submitted by the last class.

Again,  week 11 a  "final" of 500 words will assess key composition skills–grammatical sentences, unified and well-developed paragraphs, support for your thesis, sound use of references, wth some direct quotation.  This final, discussed more later, must be done in class.
