In the event of your absence make sure that you consult the posted schedule so that you can complete the work scheduled for the day you miss. Your name and class information should be on the first page in the upper left-hand corner. Also note that each essay should have a title that is appropriate and attention getting. The title is placed 2 inches from the top of the paper and centered. While the content of your essay and the development of major ideas are crucial and will be rewarded, blatant errors in spelling and grammar will seriously detract from the effectiveness of your essay, resulting in a lower grade.
Good essays are revised essays.
In order to facilitate revision we will be conducting Writing Workshops for each essay. You MUST bring your completed essay to the Writing Workshop. Your essay must also be word processed so that your peers can easily read your work. When the essay is returned to you it will include a grade written in pencil and comments throughout the paper. It will be up to you to continue working on your essays.
