Periods 5 & 6: Make-Up of Summer Readings

I am not one for failing students; I am one to foster learning. With that said, here here is ONE LAST OPPORTUNITY to pull up your summer reading grades and, more importantly, learn about reading essays and articles with a critical eye.

Be reminded that this opportunity applies only to the summer ESSAYS AND EDITORIALS.

For those of you who did not attempt and/or finish these, and for those who did score as well as they'd hoped, please do the following:

For all eight essays, do the SOAPStone questions...not the chart. You must type your responses, and be sure to address EACH of the SOAPStone categories and support your ideas with quotes from the text. It must be in essay form.

For the eight editorials, you must do ten instead. You must use the "Style and Rhetorical Appeals Terms to Know," along with your "Style and Rhetorical Appeals Graphic Organizer" to complete the information. Be sure to use specific examples to bolster your claims.

You will have until 10/1 (5th period) or 10/2 (6th period). I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY MAKE-UP WORK AFTER THIS DATE...even if you are absent on the due date!!!!

If you still choose not to do these assignments, it's all on you. I have provided every opportunity for you to learn and succeed, now it's your call. Remember, I love you...don't let me down!

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
