Welcome to Lesson 8 Email

Dear Class,
This week will be demanding, as you will A) submit a persuasive essay draft by Wednesday night and B) prepare your FINAL persuasive essay for submission by next Saturday. Please jump into Lesson 8 today, make sure to read my "Notes From Instructor", and go forth to conquer. I will read your outlines and provide a little feedback on them by Tuesday morning.
I have read my scriptures, General Conference talks, and Eats, Shoots and Leaves (a punctuation book) with you in mind during the past week. I love and admire you for all the heart and hard work you have poured into this class. Here are some quotes about correction I'd like to share with you from Elder D. Todd Christofferson:
“If we are open to it, needed correction will come in many forms and from many sources..”
“It can be helpful to exercise enough meekness to weigh it and sift out anything that might benefit us.”
“Eventually, much of our chastening should come from within—we should become self-correcting.”  http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2011/04/as-many-as-i-love-i-rebuke-and-chasten?lang=eng
I have loved seeing you self-correct, and you inspire me to improve my own writing and understanding. Good luck this week--you are in my prayers.
Love,
Sister Bowen
