Due before AND on Tuesday, 12/10/13:
1. If you did not do so--either because you were absent or because you did not take the time to do it well--thoroughly complete the essay planning worksheet (all of it) for the parent essay (first person, present tense).
2. Finish writing the preliminary draft of your essay. Type it out using our usual parameters for compositions (header, footer, 1-in. margins, 12-pt. Arial or TNR font, double-spaced). Read it over and proofread it yourself.
3. Print a copy and have someone who knows your parents (but NOT your parents!) proofread the paper. Have them mark any errors they see, and write any editing suggestions, on the paper itself, then have them sign it.
4. Make any necessary changes to your paper. Proofread it yourself again. When you're confident it is as good as it can be, email the document as an attachment to Mrs. Sitterding at the Markup address (see sidebar). Do this as early as possible (before Sunday is best), but it must be received before Monday at noon! This is your D1.
5. Mrs. Sitterding will read and correct your paper and email the marked-up copy back to you.
6. Print your Markup copy (D1) to be turned in with the other materials on Tuesday.
Your D1 should be stapled together (back to front) as follows:
- your completed essay planning worksheet
- your signed copy of your proofread draft
- your Markup copy, printed after Mrs. Sitterding sends it back to you.
NOTE: You will also return the graded D2 of your season essay on Tuesday.

Also (daily):

+ Review daily the material from our writing and grammar lessons in class so that you can more easily learn and memorize (as we go along) the different things we are studying. Be ready for a quiz anytime on all that we've learned so far.
