Day One, Third Quarter

Welcome back! I'm writing this at yet another Brooklyn hipster cafe. It's the middle of the day, so no one else is here.



If you took Regents exams last week, I hope you did well. If you had no Regents exams, I hope you had a relaxing week and returned to school ready to work. We're halfway through the trimester; depending on how you're doing, you may have to step it up a bit in order to earn the credit.

This week is going to be a bit of a review. From your essays and feedback, it's clear that we need to go over CEE writing again, as well as paraphrasing and summarizing.

This quarter, I will not be accepting any essay rough drafts after the due date (Tuesday, February 14).  Plan accordingly. Your rough draft and course/self-assessment are due Friday, February 16, Again, plan accordingly.

I am here after school for at least an hour EVERY DAY. If you're falling behind/in need of extra help/need computer access, take advantage of that.

In a comment below, give an example of a cause-effect relationship. If you understand what a cause-effect relationship is now, you can begin thinking about your essay topic.

    An Example of Cause and Effect Relationship:

    (EXPLANATION: The CAUSE was the original laptop not working. This leads to the EFFECT which is the laptop had to be replaced.)
