Just a few quick reminders for the essay #1 first draft due Tuesday:

PLEASE REVIEW THE ASSIGNMENT! Review the prompt and assignment details before handing the essay in. I have written you all individual feedback on your prewriting sheets, as well as pointed your attention over and over to the assignment, which we did discuss in class. Everything you need to know is there.

Meaning: this is a narrative essay about your history as a reader/writer. That is the topic. You must stick to it to complete the assignment. No exceptions.

Also remember: all narratives have a conflict and a resolution. What’s your conflict? How did it resolve, and what have you learned from the experience? Use your senses, paint a scene—make the reader feel like he or she was there! Review my other announcement posts for more details here.

And, finally, you must turn in a complete two page essay, printed and stapled, on Tuesday. I will not accept an electronic copy.

Comment with questions, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
