Good morning! Last day of the analytic paragraph

As I write this, I'm not entirely sure that I'll be in school tomorrow. I have a fever and the worst cold in the history of all colds, anywhere in the world a cold. (Edit: I'm still sick; I won't be there.) This work is meant to be done INDEPENDENTLY. Take the first fifteen minutes of class to look through the four student-written paragraphs in "Lesson One, Part Three." Make the corrections and comments as directed.

You should take ten minutes (Five VOYAGES bucks to whoever wants to lead this conversation) to go through a couple of them. Then, on your own, you should write one more analytic paragraph (following the claim-evidence-explanation model, which is ACTUALLY the claim-explanation-evidence-explanation-evidence-explanation-wrap-up model.) Send the Word document to me by the end of the day (or the end of office hours, or after school if you need to come and complete it) with the subject line "Lesson One, Part Three." (In response to a student question: write about whatever you want to write about. If you can't think of a topic, do a google search for "essay topics" and you'll get a billion ideas.) Despite my grievous illness, I WILL be grading these this afternoon, so do the right thing and do your work. This assignment is worth TWENTY points. If you don't do the assignment, and I see that you were in school, you will NOT have the opportunity to make it up. Do the right thing.
