Assignments for Tuesday May 11th

For Tuesday's class, read "Swimming with Canoes" by John McPhee (handout).

Discussion Board:

What three characteristics of writing stand out the most in McPhee's essay? How does the essay use these characteristics as a strategy for effective writing?

Assignments for Thursday May 6th

Prepare Final Research Paper. Please review the assignment sheet and remember to include your first draft as well as the grading rubric as your cover page.

Remember, late papers will be docked a full letter grade. I will not accept any papers after Thursday May 13th.

As a final reminder, I will not accept revisions of your final research paper; therefore, make sure you've proofread thoroughly. I suggest visiting the Writing Center. They are incredibly helpful, and I guarantee they will help you improve the quality of your writing. (Every writer needs a second pair of eyes!)

Good luck with your final drafts--I look forward to reading them!
