Honors' Papers Due Tomorrow

Honors: Tomorrow you will be submitting your final drafts of the Defend your Position (Argument) papers.  Be sure they are polished, typed, double-spaced and a strong example of your best writing.

Be smart, and, prior to printing off the paper, look at the checklist/rubric I shared with you last week. To make it easier, here it is again.

You'll need a Works Cited page don't forget.  Yes, it should be on its own page.  Use the OWL if you have any formatting questions.  Follow the MLA format.

Our nonfiction presentations start tomorrow as well.  Bring your A game!  Reminder, if you are scheduled to present tomorrow, then your paper is due Wednesday.

Standard: You did some rough draft editing today in class.  Tonight work on improving what was edited for you today.  Can you honestly answer, "Yes" to every question from the checklist/rubric?  If not, go back and add that evidence, strengthen that intro, analyze more deeply.  Good writing takes hard work.   If you aren't working hard, you most likely aren't writing well.

I asked what you needed help on and it seems that constructing the Works Cited page and a little more editing time are needed. We'll look in to handling both of those along with another closer look at correctly identifying and citing your sources.
