Conclusion Writing

Holiday Toy Drive
Wednesday is your last day to donate to the Polinsky Center.  Please bring toys for young kids ages 5-7 and help give some kids in need a happy holiday.

Studio Art
For this months studio art you have 3 options.  Choose one of the following and turn in on Friday:
  1. Create a book cover for Old Man and the Sea
  2. Draw/Paint/Color anything you'd like (must fill on page)
  3. Review one piece of art of your choosing (must write one paragraph reflection on piece)
 Common Mistakes I Found on Rough Drafts
  1. Focus on your thesis! Thesis is your main point and the rest of paper should prove what you said in your thesis.  Your thesis should be easy to find.
  2. Work on transitions between paragraphs and ideas.  Make sure you paragraph flows as one work rather than multiple paragraphs placed together.
  3. Paper must be in MLA format!  Quotations must follow proper formatting.  Follow In Text Citations Author-Page Style found here.  You will NOT need a works cited page.
How to Write a Conclusion
Please follow your handout on how to write and effective conclusion. 

Peer Edits Wednesday
Make sure to bring a typed draft Wednesday for peer edits.  You must have paper printed and ready to go at the beginning of 4th period.
