Your homework this weekend is to finish your rough drafts of your essay. Your draft workshop will be on Tuesday for A-day and Wednesday for B-day. Be sure that you are using your writing notes to review what I am looking for in terms of these papers.
A-day students - I really liked what I saw from you today. If you need more assistance with writing your papers - come see me during study hall on Monday.
B-day students - Your first two paragraphs are due on Monday. I'll be conferencing with each of you about these paragraphs on Monday.
One week left til Break!!!!

Mr. Miller, I have a question about the introduction paragraph. Is it only supposed to be one sentence or can it be a few sentences? Because the example has a few sentences, but you said it usually is only one sentence.
-Catie
The introduction will be multiple sentences. But your thesis will only be one sentence.
Hey Mr. Miller its Kirstie.
so I've been sick Thursday and Friday so I wasn't sure if I should turn in my introduction and first body paragraph tomorrow at school? Or should I wait until Tuesday and bring my whole paper in class to edit?
Kirstie - bring your opening two paragraphs to study hall on Monday. I'll give you some feedback then.
how long does this have to be again?
Two to five pages. Double spaced. Standard margins. Times New Roman/Arial/Helvetica 12 point font.
Mr. Miller,
For the rough draft, I don't know if I want to three paragraphs or six paragraphs. I am leaning towards doing six paragraphs, but I don't know how to do them. Do I do a similarity in both stories in one paragraph, and the difference in both in another? Also, transition sentences???
Catie - If you're doing the six paragraph format you'll want to focus on similarities in one paragraph and then move on to differences. You'll need to focus on transitions more between the different topics, not so much between the individual paragraphs.
Ok Mr. Miller since I haven't been here very much I was wondering if i could email you my thesis statement so you can give me the thumbs up or not. that way i won't be doing completely wrong on this. what's your email?
