INFORMATION FOR ALL CLASSES FOR OCTOBER 30, 2007

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL.

Periods 1 and 3, Senior Composition/Senior Composition:

1. Since I did not receive any of your rough drafts by email during the two-month break, I will have to take class time to help you with your final 8 to 12 page essays.

2 Your homework for Tuesday October 30, 2007 is to have an introduction ready for me to read. You will have to determine the thrust of your thesis statement. It may be to explain a problem, pose a solution to a problem, tell the "why" of a problem, describe an occupation or activity. There are other possibilities, as well.

3. If I have read and given you credit for your introduction, you will start working on the body. Remember to work in your research and 20 hours of experience into the body of the essay.
