UPDATE #3:Sunday, 4:00 pm

  • If see this, do not submit a weekly metacognition or the weekly assignment sheet to the dropbox. We will do it in class. it is fine if you already submitted.

Update #2: Friday: 

  • I will not be in class today. Work on your essay, finish it and share it with me via collaboration. If you can't figure that out, email it to me:  [email protected]
  • If you have extra time, complete your weekly assignment sheet.

 

UPDATE#1: In-Class on Thursday:

Finish your two or three body paragraphs. If you do not finish, complete for homework. Be sure each paragraph follows the form and flow of the Narrative Paragraph Plan. To guarantee an A, go the extra mile by putting each body paragraph in the Design Writing Plan--and be sure your content matches up with the rubric.

  1. Step One: Introduce and narrow down your theme…

  2. Step Two: Validate your theme by introducing and briefly describing an experience that captures your theme in action.

  3. Step Three: Explore the deeper meaning by explaining how the theme is important in your life—and potentially in the lives of your readers. Start Narrow and end Broad.

  4. Step Four: Conclude or transition to a new body paragraph in a way that gives your reader room to think in a brief sentence. Ten words or less.
