Bonus Point Opportunity

If you have your body paragraphs signed off by me and if you are one of the first five people who email me their three body paragraphs, you can earn five bonus points. I want to use them to teach students transitions for the comparison/contrast paper. We will use them on Monday.

Paper Work Upcoming

On Monday we are taking class time to do a revision of your comparison/contrast paper. To participate, you must have a complete, "clean," typed version of your paper. It needs to include the intro, body paragraphs, and conclusion. If you are not "current" in your sign off, you can particpate in the peer review, but you cannot get it signed off.

Stay current, people.
