Lessons 34-36: December 7-11

This week, students are working on finishing their final essay revisions, writing their reflections, and revising their bibliographies. Final essays are due by 3:30pm on Friday and should include all of the following parts:

1) final essay (w/ updated cover page and revised bibliography)
2) all previous drafts and rubrics -- organized from newest to oldest
3) reflection

When we return to our normal schedule in the new year, we will be starting a new unit and a new semester.

Lesson 33/34: December 2-4

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week, students will have work time. During this time, they are expected to work on the following tasks:

1) getting caught up (to 2nd draft status) if they did not turn a 2nd draft in before Thanksgiving
2) making revision to draft #2
3) updating all citations
4) creating a cover page
5) creating a bibliography

HW:
By 3:30 pm on Friday, Dec. 5th, students need to submit their 3rd draft. This draft should be revised from the 2nd draft feedback they received and contain updated citations, a cover page, and a bibliography. I will not be marking up these drafts, but I will read them over the weekend and score them using the Graduation Portfolio Rubric. Students will have an opportunity to make final revisions to their paper next week before the final paper deadline (Friday, Dec. 11th). Any student who does not turn in a complete final paper (including supporting materials) on Friday, Dec. 11th will receive an NC in American Literature for the semester.
