Assignments
I went back through the blog to see when I assigned these essays, and noted that it was quite a while ago. We are behind, but if students buckle down and do the work, they will be fine.
Coming to class without the assignments completed means you have more work to do alone. It was my intention to work on Hootenanny or the Bad Granny essay, but students hadn't completed their Subject-Verb Agreement homework. I am almost afraid to ask about the Parallel Structure essay.
