So, here we are at the beginning of the second quarter. I hope your break was good; I was sick with bronchitis for most of mine. Got some reading done, and began shopping for a bicycle.
While grading, I noticed a direct correlation between completing the articles of the week and high grades. So, if you're hoping to squeak through with better than a 65, I suggest that you make another New Year's resolution, to complete your weekly homework assignments!
This week, we're going to look at how to paraphrase and summarize, and how to use paraphrases and summaries in our CEE paragraphs. Over the weekend, you should be thinking about your compare/contrast topic. Next week, we're going to look at the structure of a compare/contrast essay, and begin writing. Your rough draft (more about that later) is due on Tuesday, January 17, and your final draft (more about that later, too) is due on Thursday, January 19.
