Today we reviewed the outline in class for the essay due this week. Bring in a draft of the essay for a peer review Thursday, April 26. We met in A-205. We will meet in A-232 on Thursday, just in case we have a full class (smile).

Due Dates
The final draft is due April 26-April 30 (note the change in date). On Tuesday May 1, students will have an opportunity to critique a student essay and recommend a grade. Only those students who have submitted essays will be able to grade another essay.

Final Essay
We decided that the Toulmin essay will be our final essay, taking its topic from The Tempest Tales. Bring the book to class Thursday as well. We will look at a reading schedule.

WLTC
Next week we will look at the two types of argument: deductive and inductive. We will look to complete WLTC in the next 2-3 meetings. Bring all materials to class.

Anything else?

Final?
Students will present one of the essays they wrote this semester for their final assignment. The final written assigment is the portfolio of all class work. This is due the last day of finals week by 12 noon. We will review the contents of the portfolio with a checklist in a week or two. If anyone would like to see a portfolio beforehand, visit me at my office hour and I can show you an example.

Cyber-Assignment
Students are to post the Classical Argument on Angola 3 where assigned last week. Post the outline. Post the essay, if you wrote one. We will complete this task Thursday as a freewrite.
