Please Go Pick UP YOUR Papers!

PLEASE go the the circulation desk on the first floor of the library and tell them you need to pick up your work! (Your folders, etc. are in a yellow crate behind the circulation desk by all those shelves. It has my name posted on it and English 1010.)

Just show them your student ID and tell them you need to pick up the following:

1. Two folders with YOUR name on it (85% Essay folder and 15% Assignment folder)

2. Your FINAL RESEARCH JOURNAL if you turned one in.

THANK YOU FOR PICKING UP YOUR WORK!!!!

You GET what YOU have EARNED!

I hate to even go here, but one last thing:

PLEASE remember that my job is to give you the grade that "YOU" EARNED.

I know that I grade on the generous side, so ALL of you should either be happy with your grade OR disappointed in yourself for NOT "EARNING" the grade you desired. Don't expect me to just hand you a grade that you didn't earn! Leave ME out of it! (I have to keep accurate records for the English department, so I have done the best I can with what you have turned in.)

Most importantly, THANK YOU ALL for a FUN Summer Block! I really enjoyed getting to know all of you and the time we spent together. Have a GREAT summer!!!

Sincerely,

"Sensei" Margaret Hawks :)

The final portfolio will be due on Friday, our last scheduled class. (*You may also turn this in on Wednesday!) (*Write a good paragraph or two for each question!)

2. What did you learn about yourself as a writer by undergoing the revision process? Was this a good learning experience for you? What do you need to learn more about or spend time practicing to improve your writing?

Please turn in your work at 3:00 PM!

My son, Dallas, will be picking up your papers, etc., so PLEASE be on time to class. He can't stay long, so you MUST get to class on time.

I'm sorry I won't there, but please check the blog after next Wednesday. I'll be posting where you can pick up your final paper and all of your other work.

Also, THANK YOU all for a Fun Summer term!

I sincerely want you to know how much I have enjoyed all of you in this class!

Oh! BTW ... Remember that as you do your research around your controlling question, you formulate your thesis by answering your question! (Flip the question into a statement!)

Normal Organization of paper:

Title (centered)

Hook & Opening paragraph

Thesis statement (what your paper is about)

Body of paper (Evidence that supports your thesis)

Conclusion (Tie it all together and wrap it up by restating your thesis in a different way. "Drive the point of your paper home!)
