Below you will find this week's guide for success! It is likely that soon we will be starting new curriculum. When that happens, the official due date for the paper will come very quickly.  So PLEASE work on your paper this week! 

March 30 Weekly Work

In addition to the guidance document, I have included the outline and rough draft revisions PowerPoint as well as some helpful tips on Intros and Conclusions (examples included!). Please look over these as they give some great guidance on your rough draft.

As always feel free to upload your paper with specific questions for feedback to this week's weekly feedback assignment. You'll see in the document that there is also an opportunity for a peer edit this week.

And now for my new Monday tradition, something funny!! 

Just to show what you can do with your time given enough motivation, here is Coronavirus Rhapsody (hopefully we have some Queen fans out there)

March 23rd Weekly Activities

For this week we would like you to focus on getting and using feedback on your outline. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT A FINAL DUE DATE. With things constantly changing, we want you to slow down and really revise your outlines, source evaluations, and language lens.

Below are resources to use in this week's activities. As always, you may email me or Mrs Cossano at any time for help or questions. In general, your first period teacher will be the one reviewing your assignments and giving feedback on Turnitin, but either teacher is available for questions via email.
