The rought draft must be turned in on the date indicated in the Course Schedule. Possible topics will be distributed at least a week before the due date and composition length should be approximately 250-300 words. All drafts MUST be word-processed and double spaced. No grade will be given until the rough draft is revised. The focus is on both correct grammatical structures and the ability to express increasingly complex ideas.
Creativity is also a plus.
The student should be careful to limit the amount of new vocabulary to the absolute minimum. Notecards may be used, but the presentation MAY NOT be read verbatim. Audiovisual aids are encouraged. Conversation topics will vary, but will be loosely based on chapter themes. Absences and tardiness will affect your grade.
