Act 3 questions: Friday October, 30

DGP Test: Friday October 30

Act 4 Questions: Monday November 2

Prompt choice for the Crucible paper: Monday November 2

Remember that the discussion questions for act one and the character sheets are due Friday.

Also we have a quiz on vocabulary week 6.

When you turn in your paper tomorrow, it should be typed, double-spaced and in either Times New Roman 12pt or Calibri 11 pt font.  If you cannot type it, it should be written in blue or black ink and double-spaced, though i much prefer it typed.  I will NOT accept pencil or pink pen.  If you turn it in with pencil or ink of another color, I will return it to you and you may resubmit it, though it will be counted as late.

Please staple your papers in the following order:

1. Final Draft
2. Rough Draft
3. Prewriting
4. Rubric

If you had your rough draft in class today and worked through the revision protocol we went over in class, please make whatever changes you need to in your paper and bring a fresh copy to class.

If you did not have a rough draft ready for class today, please have your rough draft for tomorrow.  Use the revision guidelines to look over your paper or have someone else examine it (remember 5 Higher Order Concerns — HOCs and 3 Lower Order Concerns — LOCs).

If you are willing, I would love to have someone’s paper to illustrate some things on the document camera tomorrow.

Your rough draft for your American Dream comparison essay is due on Monday.  We will spend most of Monday doing peer revision.

Suggested format:

1. Introduction
2. Body #1 (1st article — how does the American Dream affect this article?)
3. Body #2 (2nd article — how does the American Dream affect this article?)
4. Body #3 (discuss the comparison) — optional.  You may be able to do this in your conclusion. Do NOT write an empty, padded paragraph just to have five if your comparison is pretty uncomplicated.  That said, don’t oversimplify it either.
5. Conclusion (wrap up)

Have a good weekend and happy writing!
