Freshmen: Today we talked about standard format for essays and the letter to the editor assignment. Your homework is to take your summer read essay and type it up into final draft form. A couple of notes about what is expected about standard form: Your paper should be in 12 point font, double spaced consistently throughout (i.e. NO extra spaces between paragraphs), and written in black with a an easy-to-read font (e.g. Times Roman or something like that). Your title should be centered, and should NOT be enlarged, underlined, in quotes, in bold, or italicized. As for the letter to the editor assignment, refer to the guidelines I have posted on the blog in an earlier entry and the handout I gave you today. All students must hand one in on or before October 20; honors students must also hand in one on or before September 29. Other homework this weekend: Read for 20 minutes and get a copy of the vocab book as well as They Say I Say.
CNF: Today we wrapped up our introduction to various non-fiction forms and sources. Have a copy of Blink for Monday.
