Even though we are not having class today, I will be writing feedback to your practice arguments. My comments are meant to provide you with a kind of roadmap for what to work on to turn the draft/practice argument into something that will work as an academic essay. Read through these comments carefully, and take a look at the requirements for the persuasive essay assignment (also posted to the right under assignment). After reading through the comments and the assignment sheet, write a list of your own for what you need to work on during this unit on writing arguments (post this list to your portfolio) - it will be due on Tuesday.
I know it might feel bad to be required to work for this class, even though it was cancelled - but realistically, we are behind in the time we need to work together - so let's hang in there and hopefully you can catch your breath over Spring Break.
