FINALS ARE COMING!
Click HERE for my "prepping for this final" recommendations.
Click HERE for a copy of the directions for the Reflection Letter you will turn in on the day of the final.
Your individual paragraph about your fiction book (Book #2 of this unit) is due Tuesday or Wednesday in class (1-14/1-15). It is formatted the same as the group paragraph (see video at left for reminders!). If WEATHER interferes, your paragraph is STILL DUE--turnitin.com is already open so you can submit your paragraph when you finish it between now and that class. Don't forget to submit it online, no matter the weather.
HERE is the final PROMPT. You may think about, brainstorm, prewrite, but you cannot bring any writing to the final except what is allowed on the actual prompt (optional quotes).
