Wise Essay

Extension

If students need it. The Wise essay can be submitted up to Monday at 12 noon. Students can give me the reading logs Monday, if they are not digital. For TKW type your logs.

I will give students a reading schedule Tuesday, since the syllabus is not accurate anymore (smile). Bring a grammar style book to class on Tuesday and to each class, along with a dictionary, WLTC and the novel. We meet in A-204 on Tuesday.

I know we are moving fast, but this is an accelerated schedule. Don't get behind on the reading. Turn in essays which reflect your best writing. MLA should be perfect. For this essay I am paying attention to how well you define the term and how well you use evidence and incorporate it into the text.

It is a short essay, which means it shouldn't have been that difficult to write. Make sure you include the question after the heading of the paper, followed by the essay starting with the title.

In a word document arrange your essay as follows:

1. Final draft of the essay.
2. Essay Planning--IPS and outline
3. Peer Reviews
4. Related Cyber-assignments
5. Reading Logs

Redo the header and count all the pages. Headers are one half inch from the top of the page. I gave students a handout at the beginning of the class with this information on it. Make sure you put titles on each section and begin each section with a new page. The sections can take the titles from 1-5 (see above). You do not have to put a heading on the Final Draft of the essay. I think I can figure that out (smile).

In the Works Cited page, which is a part of your essay, don't forget to use a hanging indent for any citation longer than 1 line. If there are any articles or books read which were not cited, include them in a bibliography. Bibliographies look just like Works Cited pages.

Keep an error log on your essays. I will probably make students write correction essays for all essay which do not get a passing grade the first time.

If you did not complete the freewrite, make sure you complete it. Post your thesis anonymously and respond to student arguments with your name.
