English 2: Introductions and Conclusions

Wednesday, October 7, 2015

Introductions and Conclusions

Today's Goal: After writing and compiling your body paragraphs, begin to formulate your introduction and conclusions.

Agenda:

Read!
Write!

Okay, seriously, this is what needs to happen today: SO MUCH WRITING. MORE WRITING THAN YOU'VE WRITTEN ALL WEEK.

On Monday I gave you some helpful handouts that you can (and should) use to begin to formulate your essay. Your draft is due on Friday.

Homework: DON'T FORGET!

LORD OF THE FLIES TEST TOMORROW (I gave you a study guide. If you were present in class, did your reading, and actively listened and participated, you shouldn't have too much to worry about. Review the things given to you in School Loop.)
ESSAY DRAFT DUE FRIDAY - meaning you should have all of the parts by the time you come to class.
I will tell you when the final draft is due on Friday.

Gradebook Explained

My grade book is on School Loop for you to view. There are some things you need to know that will hopefully clarify some things.

I = Incomplete, and may not be made up. An I is worth 30% of the total points available for an assignment. This is a department criteria and policy.

M = Missing, and should be made up or turned in for at least partial credit. The assignment is worth a zero until the work is completed.

Ab = Absent, and should be made up or turned in in a timely manner. The assignment is worth a zero until the work is completed.

Blank scores mean I have not graded it yet.

Zeroes occur when students do not turn in assignments that they are expected to submit. Regardless of when it is due, students are expected to complete the assignment.

Sometimes a score given on a minor assignment is not ideal. For students willing to put in the work, they are welcome to talk with me about redoing certain assignments.

I hope this will resolve some confusion. Of course, if you have questions about grades please e-mail me!
