Schedule (and assignment) for the remainder of the quarter

Great work yesterday, both in class, and with the articles posted below! I'd like to take a moment to keep everyone up to date on what is due, and when...

for Thursday (tomorrow): Know your topic for the third paper, and bring in your source (from yesterday's assignment). We will complete a "building blocks" exercise in class.

for Tuesday: Bring in one copy of your complete rough draft for workshop. Also, look over http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/ so that you know how to use citations, etc. for this paper. Following the workshop, I will be available for conferencing about your paper. *ALSO--bring your "assessment and goals" exercise, which will be discussed in the previous class.

for Wednesday, by noon: This will be your last chance to email me a draft of your paper and definitely get comments back by the end of the day.

for Thursday (our last day): The final draft of your third paper is due. Late work will be lowered an entire letter grade per day it is late. I'm looking forward to reading these!

NEW PAPER DUE DATE

As discussed in class...


The second paper (ADDICTION) can be turned in two ways:

1. You can turn in your final draft (with pre-work) tomorrow in class.

OR

2. You can email it to me so that I receive it by Sunday at 9am.

Offering this extended time will maximize our opportunities to turn rough drafts into final ones, meet/email with me, and/or meet with Helen.


Please note:
If I do not receive your paper by the time due, it will be counted as late--no exceptions.

Also please note: In Thursday's class, we will begin our third unit (LITERATURE), so please be ready to dive in!
