2.)    Essay #5: My Goal
Every student should be at least starting their outline. For specific details on this essay assigned yesterday, see yesterday's blog post. Evidence of all work is due Monday. Remember: Your work will be evaluated using the MCAS scoring guide. In other words, you will receive a 1-6 for TODL/S and a 1-4 for MUGS. You will also receive codes that help to explain your scores.

 3.)    Revision: “American Dream?” Conclusion
Please re-write the conclusion on the "American Dream?" essay. Be sure your new conclusion restates the thesis in different words, reviews the main points, then…ADD SIZZLE with a CHEESY COMMENT or QUESTION!
 

A BIG SHOUT-OUT to…
