We are almost there! I am so excited to read your drafts and begin reading your final essays this week. Here are some things to keep in mind as you work through the week:
1. Starting on Monday, please work through the assignments for the week. I won't provide class-wide feedback on drafts until Tuesday evening, so you'll have some good time on Monday and Tuesday to work through everything else required this week. Specifically,
- You may click on the "short assignment" referenced on the Lesson 12 Main Page to see what you will write during the Conclusion week.
- Work through the grammar quiz slowly. I may or may not have missed a few questions because I read the options too quickly:).
- The optional punctuation reading and optional essay are wonderfully worthwhile.
3.
I hope you will give your essay the attention it deserves this week.
Remember, this personal narrative should demonstrate a few crucial
things. It will demonstrate your ability to honor a rubric and produce a
mechanically clean essay. If you can honor a rubric and produce clean
copy, you are well prepared for your future writing classes.
Additionally, your personal narrative, if crafted carefully and
prayerfully, should demonstrate one of the most important experiences in
your life. It's a part of you, and a part of your history. "The angels
may quote from it" and your children and grand-children will know you
better for what you have written. I hope you make this essay matter.
4.
Finally, this is my last reminder to email me if you would like video
feedback on your final personal narrative. I will happily provide video
feedback if you request it.
5. Remember that your final essay must be submitted by the deadline on Saturday, July 20th.
I am here if you need me, and I am cheering you on every step of the way.
Love,
Sister Bowen
