Lessons, Week of 25-29 September 2017

English 1301
Angelina College
YOU and some old guy
Week of 25-29 September 2017

1. Monday and Tuesday – let’s finish the previous project and turn it in, and work with rough drafts of your descriptive essays. I will be pleased to read your drafts and make suggestions, but I am not going to proof your paper.

Demonstrate initiative – while the old instructor is working with another student that is your time to review your own work and that of others, not idle. A successful college student, like a successful worker, does not need constant supervision. Passivity is your enemy.

2. Wednesday and Thursday – let’s work with rough drafts. If you bring to class a finished rough draft (it must be typed, but it shouldn’t be pretty, and it should suffer the scars of your handwritten corrections), that’s a 100 in the grade book for you.

3. A quiz might suddenly appear, like a summer thunderstorm.

4. The final draft of your descriptive essay is due NLT roll call on Wednesday / Thursday of next week. I will be pleased to accept it earlier.
