Date

Additional Info
We will spend all hour today, tomorrow, and Wednesday presenting speeches. 

Some announcements first:
After talking to the other teachers who are teaching this same class, there have been some changes to the final exam format. You WILL be tested on vocabulary and grammar on Friday's test. It will be multiple choice and it will be divided into small "chunks" to make it easier for you to navigate. 

Also, because I have to keep final exams for record-keeping purposes, you will need to print out your final research essay. Although you can bring this printout in any day this week, it MUST be submitted before the final exam on Friday morning!

For this version of the essay, please do the following:
  • delete the notes sheets that were used for your research (print ONLY the essay itself and the works cited page)
  • FULLY and completely edit and revise. Make it as clean and polished as possible.
  • Get out the assignment sheet and go through each of the requirements. Find each of them to confirm you have demonstrated your knowledge of them. (vivid descriptions, use of persuasive appeals, quoting, paraphrasing and summarizing, etc.)
