Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, May 9 through Friday, May 13

This week I will return your first drafts to you. When you receive them, read the comments carefully, and conference with me if you have any questions. Then begin writing (and researching, as necessary) your revisions. Don't save it for the last minute! When you submit your final draft, attach the original draft with it, including the rubric.

Keep up with the reading. We're almost there...
