1. Today in class we completed and corrected Grammar Exam 2. Homework is to write a recommendation and correction essay for the writer instructing him or her on what he or she needs to do given this second exam.

Compare the two exams. Note any improvement (positive reinforcement). Attach this essay to the exam(s) tomorrow. Be specific re: errors and total correct per section and for the entire essay. State the grammar rule(s) and corrected sentence(s) or phrase(s) for each error.

2. We will meet in Thursdays in D-114 for the rest of the semester.

3. Continue working on the SE essay. Bring in your 5 sources in MLA so I can check it off. You will not be able to revise the SE essay. The final draft is due next week. Many students have not gotten their revised essays into me. There are a few students who have not turned in a first draft. Those students should talk to me. If you have spoken to me and did not honor your commitment, drop the class.

I am not reading any first drafts of essays which are past due after Thursday this week. Students will not be able to revise the essay(s).

4. We practiced the 3-part essay (handout). This is the kind of thesis sentence I want you to use for this final essay. I also want you to use this outline model for the SE essay as well. Everything needs to be typed, however, students can fill out the sheet if he or she desires.
