Week at a glance September 23 - 27, 2013

During this week we'll continue identifying and analyzing examples of expository definition structure.  We'll have a bit of practice with the structure in class on Monday.  Students will then write their own minor (2-page) definition essay and submit their best attempt online next week -- no rough draft with feedback.  This is in part to encourage students to be more attentive to creating their best work during the writing process.  Students will also be wrapping up their work on their Narrative Essay unit during the next two weeks.

• Tues: Pass back and discuss results for the Minor Essay 1 final draft.  Minor Essay 2 assignment and discussion - best attempt written portion submitted in class; typed portion submitted to turnitin.com by 11:59:59 Thursday, Oct 3.  For Wednesday: read Cunningham 347-354 and Pollitt 555-557.
