A less “S%$^^y” first draft of your Unit One essay.  This must be up on the Open Lab site by noon in order for me to prepare for class.

Please see the Unit One Description for the guidelines.

Rough drafts must be at least 700 words (final drafts must be 1000 words) Use TWO CATEGORIES: unit one AND rough draft!

Important!! If you come to class without the rough draft on Tuesday, your final grade will go down 1/2 a letter grade (from an A to an A- or from a B- to a C+). You will also be marked absent.  This is because rough drafts are important– and because we’ll be doing working with the rough drafts for most of the class on Tuesday, so if you show up without one, you will be holding your fellow writers back.  You will also be holding yourself back! You get full credit for getting ANYTHING down on the page. Believe me. (BELIEVE ME!) It is better to get started than it is to wait until the night before it’s due and try to do it then.

Final drafts of Unit One are due on Thursday, Feb 24.
