SP#1 Rubric

Here is the link that will take you to a copy of the assignment Rubric for SP#1. Be sure to fully read and digest this document so that you are fully aware of what is being asked of you for this paper. I have left the content of the work fairly open (cf. the section "Ideas and Brainstorming Suggestions") in order to offer the space for creativity. If you are concerned as to whether or not your paper's thesis/topic/structure will satisfy this first formal writing assignment, simply email me, speak with me after class, or during my office hours.

Also, I encourage you to use the College's tutoring services if needed or desired. A second set of eyes glancing over your work can never hurt...

Remember that his assignment is due on Tuesday, March 1st. So, get your gears turning so that you can turn out this piece in no time!

The best of luck in your writing!

Revise your “Page for English B,” including in the paper. Then compose an analysis of your work using the appropriate literary terms

It has been updated to read:

Updated Syllabus

You should have received the updated syllabus in class today (2/8). However, if you were unable to obtain this document you can view, download, and print it from the right-hand sidebar. It is located under the heading "Important Documents."

While you should reread the entirety of the updated syllabus, I will inform you that the major changes involve (a) different weights in the class grade distribution; (b) a more detailed description of the academic help available to you via the Writing Center, complete with hours of operation and the like; (c) and finally, a revamped and completed estimated schedule of readings and written assignments.

I will copy the new schedule onto its appropriate page here shortly.
