First of all, thank you for a good semester. I have enjoyed teaching you all and hope that you have learned a lot. Writing can be difficult but also very rewarding.
Based on the meeting yesterday, I will have to deviate from my original plans. The writing teachers agreed that students should do a timed writing on the last day. That being decided, I planned our writing activity on that day. However, in light of the discussion yesterday, we will change a bit. See the details below.
Portfolio
- This has not changed.
- Turn in all of your DRAFTS and FINAL COPIES.
- Turn in one essay and two paragraphs (or three DIFFERENT writing samples)
- Turn in your Writing Contract
Timed Writing
- You will have one hour to write
- Write as much as you think is necessary to answer the topic
- I will give you the topic on the last day. You may only write about that topic
- The timed writing will be part of your portfolio
I'm sorry for these sudden changes. However, I have a lot of confidence that you can do this exercise without much difficulty.
Also, I will be available to help you throughout the week. My office is 323. Please let me know if you would like to come, so that I can organize myself. You may come any time in the morning when I am not teaching. After I finish my classes, I try to leave very quickly. Usually, I fail, but I try.
