November 12th Class

Dear Upward Bound students,

On tomorrow’s class we will be working on the body of our on-going essay practice.  Bring your topics, outline and thesis statement so we can start working on organizing our ideas in the body of our paper.  We will have a presentation on how to construct a well organized and cohesive paragraph and we will practice in class. Bring any material you have collected in order to get the ideas on to your essay. Bring your notes, articles or any other material to work in class.

Also, tomorrow I expect every single one of you to have your adopted author’s book. I will ask you to give the class a brief glimpse into the biography of your author.

Leave ALL of your excuses at home.
