TODAY IN CLASS
Worksheet on commonly confused words/spelling issues. Then we began a short review of run-on sentences, complicated by the fact that I picked a worksheet page from a workbookthat categorized compound sentences with a missing comma (but the appropriate coordinate conjunction) as a run-on. We'll take another run at this in 2nd and just do it right in the first place in 4th.
MEANWHILE, FOR YOUR PAPER AND FOR HOMEWORK
1) Prepare the groundwork for some practice in integrating quotations in various ways: select TWO quotations you might want to use in your paper, and merely copy them down (or type them). Then, write one or two good sentences of commentary. In if you know you're good, don't embed or integrate as the homework--just get down the quote and the commentary. (The quotations don't have to connect to each other; in your final essay they might appear in different sections, or you might in fact decide not to use it at all.)
2) But this should take you too long. So the additional homework is simply to keep working on the essay--probably continuing to gather and organize support for your working thesis.
