Freedom Writing!!

Here is an opportunity for which you have been waiting!  Write at least a 2 page, double-spaced paper of any type on any topic of your choice, without any quota of required elements.  It may be typed or handwritten, but it must be neat and grammatically correct.  You may not use banned words either.

Have a wonderful Easter break, and I look forward to seeing you back the following week.

Creative Writing

Complete your outline for your creative writing response to a prompt.  Additionally, write the rough draft paragraph (level A) or paper (level B) for this assignment.

I look forward to hearing about the interesting  ideas you each have in response to the prompt!  Please put forth genuine effort and interest to develop your ideas in your paper.  Your support information will give your ideas further credibility.  Please, enjoy doing your work :)

Is the Tailor Admirable?

Write your Final Draft for the paper that answers the question "Is the Tailor Admirable?".  Follow your Checklists carefully and be alert to proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar.  Remember that from now until the end of the year, I will be taking away additional points for misused commas, contractions, possessive pronouns, and sentences structures.

Is the Tailor Admirable?

Polish the Final Genghis Khan papers you received back in class today.  File the Polished Copy in your Polished Notebooks.  Please note that these should be placed in sequential order according to the lesson order followed in the book.  Those who did not have these in order today should bring them back to me on Friday.
