Keep Writing...

Today, you will continue to work on your persuasive essay, which is due one week from today (NEXT Monday, 10/28). I will NOT accept late work. The essay will be due at the beginning of the period.

Here are some additional sentence frames that can be used in writing your essay. Pay particular attention to those frames used to introduce and cite evidence.
Sentence Frames A
Sentence Frames B

In addition, your essay MUST be typed using standard MLA formatting (although you can use 1.5 spacing if you want). Click HERE for more on MLA formatting guidelines. In general, the first page of your paper should look something like this:

It is important to note that you only have four days left to work in class on this assignment.  Tuesday we will be meeting with our mentors all period. In addition, you MUST turn in a Works Cited page along with your essay. I will be posting some information about creating a Works Cited page later in the week.

**This assignment will be worth 100 points and 
will be a MAJOR factor in your next progress report grade**
