Week of 10-13 November and

Week of 17-20 November

 

1. Expository essay – those of you in the government class have a paper due for that instructor on Monday.  This is an excellent assignment requiring the use of Bloom’s Taxonomy, research in authoritative sources, exposition, parenthetical references, a works cited, and a conclusion  (not an opinion).  Because of the excellence of this assignment it will serve as a replacement assignment for the how-to essay I am assigning you.  My assignment is somewhat easier and is due later, but if you choose to submit a photocopy or printout of your government paper you will be saved a little effort. You must make a choice; I’m not going to grade two different assignments.  Those of you not in the government class will write my how-to assignment.
    
   The appropriate response is “Thank you, Mr. Hall,” not “Huh?”, “What?”, I don’t understand,” Geeez,” or “Would you explain that again?”
    
   Be aware that your grade for this paper in this class might be different from the grade in the other class because the classes are different and the instructors will be looking for different emphases.  If this possibility is going to cause you distress, then work the how-to assignment.
    
2. Your test and your essay will be due by 11:04 A.M. on Thursday, 20 November.
