Due Friday, October 2, 2009:
This is for those who did NOT submit the previous essay on time. The only way you may get at least a "D" on your progress report is to submit to myaccess.com the previous essay AND an additional essay, which is entitled "A Lesson Learned," by Friday at 9 PM. If you write only one essay, you will not get anything higher than an "F" on your progress report.
The purpose of this additional assignment is to: 1) give you an opportunity to make up for your previous error, but in a way that does not reward you for your previous error; and 2) be fair to those who did the original essay assignment as prescribed.
The first essay, "An Important Change" MUST be at least 800 words, and the second essay, "A Lesson Learned" MUST be at least 600 words.
I hope you choose to follow through! If you don't have a computer, feel free to use mine.
For those of you who did submit your essay, but wrote fewer than 800 words, make sure to submit a revision that is at least 800 words by Friday at 9 PM.
Know the first 28 of these literary terms for Tuesday's quiz.
Due Monday, October 19, 2009:
Study all 60 of these terms for Monday's quiz.
