Have you completed the assessment test and any modules from the Writing Center?  Remember, you must complete the assessment test and four modules by the beginning of Week 6 -- That's two weeks away!

Monday:

• Proofreading and Editing of Descriptive Paragraph.  You must bring a typed draft for Monday.
• Grammar Review -- fragments. (Pages 329-345)
• Homework:
• Complete one journal entry this week at home.  By the end of this week, you should have three journal entries -- each at least a page long.
• Finish Descriptive Paragraph for Wednesday.  This draft will be due at the beginning of class.  Any paper turned in after I collect them will be counted as late. Your paragraph should be between 10-12 sentences in length, and it should be typed and double-spaced. Print your draft before you come to class. You need to make two copies of this draft.  One I will grade, and one will go in your pre-portfolio.  Because this paragraph is going into your portfolio, do not put your name on it.  I will give you a cover sheet in class.
