Oh, yes, they are coming. I hear them being printed right now. Listen. Cup your hand over your ears. Can't you hear it? The faint "clack clack clack" of the copier? It's coming. It's coming soon.
CW: Nothing left but to enjoy each other's presence...and to check out each other's final projects. Look for them here:
Come back for the rest tomorrow!
E3H: Today we took our practice final. Tomorrow I am going to have you work with each other (and the rubric) to see what these partial essays suggest about the quality of the essays that would be written if time permitted. (You will have a RW on Friday.) All remaining ex cred projects will go on Monday. We will save the vocab assessment until the second semester.
E2CP: Today we too our practice final. Tomorrow I will go over them with you and talk about some of the things I observed in each of them.
And once again, here is the ACTUAL EXAM ESSAY PROMPT:
Write an essay that explores an important idea suggested by
this story.
That idea may relate to a character or characters in the story, a dominant theme that emerges from it, or literary techniques the author uses to convey its central concepts. You may also use a combination of these approaches if you prefer.
Before you begin writing, plan your essay using any strategies you have found helpful—brainstorming, outlining, free writing, webbing, etc.
Focus your essay on a strong thesis statement; use mapping statements, mapping points, or some other clear plan to establish the paper’s organization; and prove your
arguments with solid textual support.
Remember, this essay is an exploration of ideas, not a plot summary.
