First Draft Deadline

I hope all of you are feeling a sigh of relief this weekend as you have transferred research essay responsibility to me. I shared the final review handout with you earlier today. We will be discussing this next week, but you are welcome to a preview look. We're almost finished with Advanced Composition.

Library Last Day

During today's class, Sources 9 & 10 and the outline were due. I have extended the deadline to the end of the school day for those wrapping up the outline.

We will be in class on Friday. You will have the opportunity to work on your first draft, which is due at the end of the school day. Remember, you will need a 2 pocket folder to turn in your work with the source pages on the left hand side and the remaining written work - claim, intro, outline, first draft - on the right side.

Library Day 4

Working Introduction due today. Sources 9 & 10 and outline due tomorrow. If you need a box outline handout, pick one up during class. The outline is expected to be specific, incorporating claims, all probable evidence, warrants, counterclaim, rebuttal, and conclusion. While this outline will take time, it will allow you to write the essay with greater confidence and speed.

Library Day 3

On the deadlines, today was Sources 5-8 and tomorrow will be the Working Introduction. Sources 9-10, the outline, and the first draft are coming up this week as well!

Library Day 2

Friday continued library research time. Sources 5-8, the working introduction, Sources 9-10, the outline, and the first draft are due next week.

Library Day 1

Research continues in the library. Since there is not much action on my end -- other than answering questions and checking your source pages -- I thought I would include cute bunny pictures to liven up the blog.

Sourcing

The blogs for the upcoming classes will be quite redundant. We will be in the library researching for your argumentative research essay. On Wednesday, the first 4 source pages and the working claim need to be turned in and receive any necessary feedback.
