Because of low attendance today, students who came to class got more feedback from me on their papers, got Essay 3 returned to them, AND they received bonus points for coming to class.
If you missed class, I still suggest you head to the Writing Center for help (because most of you missed due to struggling with your overall essay). I still need rough drafts sent to me TODAY to receive partial credit for your rough draft. If I don't receive it, you won't get more than half credit on your rough draft.
With all that being said, we WILL be doing Peer Reviews on Tuesday. If you don't make it to this one, you WILL be required to go to the Writing Center (see previous post about what all you must do to receive points). These peer reviews are beneficial for you (and they're weighted heavier), so missing them is hurting you.
So, PLEASE bring 3 copies of your essay with you on Tuesday. If you were in class today, please feel free to revise your essays before bringing in new copies for peer reviews. This will help make your papers even stronger. The due date for Essay 4 will NOT be extended due to the peer review extension. You'll need to make sure you revise your paper using your peer reviews as your guide.
As a REMINDER: Your FIRST final draft of essay 4 is due on Thursday, November 20th. I plan to have these back to you before Thanksgiving break, so you can have time to revise these essays (which is required).
If you have questions, please contact me.
