Ok, you are in 11th grade. You realize this right? This being said, I have found that many of you are turning in less than adequate work. Some of your responses are only one-three paragraphs long. I will tell you right now, there is NO WAY IN @#$! that you can write a sufficent response to a 10 page article with only a few paragraphs.
From now on, each response must be 2-3 pages. MLA format only (for those of you new to my class, I have an example paper to give to you!)
Each response needs an Introduction!!! Make sure to introduce the reading, the main ideas, the subject matter. Do NOT just jump in explaining ideas you haven't introduced yet!!
You should mention at least 5 quotes from the assigned reading material and you should respond with your ideas and thoughts to each of those quotes.
You should pull in personal experiences, as well as current events and ideas. This gives your ideas a solid foundation on which to stand.
Again, please comment on here that you have read and understand this. If you don't understand, also comment with what is confusing you.
My expectations for semester 2 are much higher than they were for semester 1. It is time to push your limits, provoke your thoughts, and engage in class!

Hopefully I understand, but I honestly cannot say until I see my paper and see what I did wrong. I do know now to do it like that next time though. Vicky Morales

I, am not a "I'll just say what the last person said" kind of person. Oh and I was absent from the class before valentines day and wrote a 6 paragraph essay. should I rewrite it for a 9 paragraph now?

I agree about the work being worth more points...and I have already done it! Whahooo! Thanks for reading my mind Travis, and thanks for sharing your thoughts about it. I like that.
I understand perfectly.
