Essay Editing

Good Morning!

Please get your netbook when you arrive.

NOTE: I finished grading your book reviews last night.  I will not look at my spreadsheet again nor will any late work be accepted on this last day of the grading period. 

Today, you will continue fine tuning your essay on Night.  Some of you have truly done an impressive job!  In that case, you may work on something else QUIETLY.  I would like the opportunity to help students with their essays. This essay will be on the final grading period.

Proofread your essays for the following:                      
                       * Mechanical correctness,including HEADING.  Be

                          sure to double space your essay.

                       * Thesis in introduction

                       * Evidence to support thesis in body paragraphs.

                       * Properly introducing quoted material and citing

                          the quotes.

                       * Insightful commentary
                       * Conclusion which is all your commentary 
                          (your insights, opinions, feelings, etc.)
