CLASS TOMORROW!

For class tomorrow, please be sure that you have these things:

Your signed grading sheet. Your argumentative paper #1 was returned to you with a grade last Tuesday. The grading sheet is supposed to be signed by a parent (not a sibling, friend, or neighbor) and returned to me this Tuesday.

Your re-write. If you were not pleased with your grade, your re-write is due tomorrow. A re-write is very easy to do. I tell you exactly what I want from you. Be sure to have a parent look over your re-write to help you be sure that you have done what I asked.

This week's assignment. We are now working on argumentative paper #2. There are only two topics from which to choose. You may write your paper on "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" or "I Gave Dating a Chance." This is not a book review. This is a paper arguing what you believe and why you believe it. You are to bring your well-developed thesis statement and the complete outline for your paper. Check out the one I did on "I Kissed Chocolate Goodbye" in the post below. This is how yours should look!

I will return your book reviews tomorrow. Everyone did a great job, and I was very pleased with your work. You will be very happy to know that I graded your book reviews on content only--I overlooked your grammar (or lack of it).

Be sure and leave comments here on the ol' blog if you haven't done so. Take the poll! I am looking forward to seeing your smiling faces in class tomorrow.

Thanks, Brooke!

You're the one who wanted this class in the first place! And where are you? At Vol State. (sigh)

I guess we will have to catch up at the Lady Royals games!

Hi Mrs. Powell,
It sure does look like other members of the class are trying to collect some brownie points. However, you know I am not like that at all. If I had my way, I wouldn't post anything. But since this is a requirement, I am here posting this comment. Hey, at least I'm honest.

Never discount the value of brownie points. . .
