This is just to remind you of a few things:
1) Your Essay 3 first draft is due this Monday, 4/20, by the start of class. Please be sure to have as complete a draft as you can. If you're not completely sure what you're doing, try to plow through, even if you might end up doing something awkwardly or incorrectly. To remind you, a finished bad draft is better than an unfinished brilliant one.
2) Your critique in response to a classmate's Essay 3 first draft is due this Wednesday, 4/22, by the start of class. In your critique, please be sure to organize your ideas into several paragraphs, looking at several sections of your partner's essay, taking care to consider several issues in it separately. Be aware: A number of you are losing a lot of points by simply writing insufficient critiques.
And be aware of a couple more things for the near future:
Your Essay 3 second draft packet will be due one class early -- on Monday, 4/27, by the start of class (not Wednesday, as we've done before). Wednesday, 4/29, is the last chance to submit revisions for Essays 1 and 2 -- by the end of class, 3:20pm, and no later than that. Seriously, I will not accept an Essay 3 as on-time if it's submitted after we start class on Monday, and I will not accept a revision of Essays 1 or 2 at all if it's submitted after 3:20pm on Monday.
If you have questions or concerns, please email me.
