As we complete our Wilderness unit, your writing assignment will be a bit different the next two weeks. Instead of a formal essay, I’d like you to construct a personal engagement with nature using writing and/or art. Plan to spend at least four hours on the project, which is located here.

It’s due on Monday, May 23. in class.

 

The final draft of the education reform research paper will be due on Thursday at 3:30, delivered to school in a printed copy.

When you submit, make sure to:

  • make all the corrections from the original draft.
  • attach the previous draft behind your new copy.
  • hand/deliver the essay to me in Room 14.

Specific areas of concern for revision include:

  • the use of academic research.
  • organization that is coherent and consistent.
  • including an actual plan for HHS/HSD1.
  • paraphrasing in your own words.

The next essay for English III will be simple: decide who should be elected the next President of the United States and defend your choice in a well-written essay. The requirements of the essay:

  • The paper should be written using 1” margins and 12 point font.
  • It should be a minimum of 800 words, and no more than 1200.
  • You should include at least 5 different sources in your essay.

The paper is due in class on Thursday.
