Senior English--Week 2

Here we go...now the real English class begins. This week we've worked on discussion methods and argument, how to ask questions and probe assumptions, and how to write a well-thought-out English paper. Now you have to apply all those concept.

Tonight you will create a final draft of your essay. [Topic: The legal drinking age should be lowered to eighteen. Defend, challenge, or qualify that statement in an essay.]

Due Friday, August 24: in your two-pocket foler--Final draft in left pocket, rough draft, revision notes, and outline/prewriting in right folder

All complete essay folders handed in Friday, August 24, will receive full credit. Late folders may still receive half credit on Monday. All projects not turned in by Monday receive a ZERO and a phone call home.
