Essay Check In

Hi Students!

I have returned and recently checked my school email. Some students have been showering me with questions about the essay due tomorrow (Monday, June 20th). Here are just a few reminders:

1) The essay is due Monday, June 20th (except for Section 41 who may turn work in on Tuesday, June 21st due to final exam scheduling).

2) The essay must be a 5-paragraph essay as the rubric addresses. The sample student essay is 3 paragraphs. I thoroughly previewed, explained, reviewed, and offered time for students to ask further clarifying questions about the packet, specifically the difference between the 5-paragraph requirement and the sample 3-paragraph essay. I stated that if you did not conceptually understand the difference between the 5-paragraph and 3-paragraph essay that you should speak to me prior to Wednesday of last week. Make certain your essay is 5-paragraphs!

3) Although I required you to provide 2 sources of information, if you referred to more than 2 sources, those additional sources must be cited in your bibliography as well. Anytime you include information, evidence that is not your own thinking, you MUST cite the source in order to avoid plagiarism. Use Citation Machine and Easy Bib to expedite this process.

See you on Monday :-)
