Period 1 - R/W Workshop Assignment Due Tomorrow
Hey kids -
Please add the following to the 2nd Submission draft, due tomorrow. Also, make sure to label the draft "2nd Draft / 2nd Submission".
* Add an allusion to your draft. Remember, an allusion allows your reader to make a connection and gain insight. It also adds credibility to your writing. Highlight or underline the allusion.
* Use paragraphs. Drafts written in block format will be docked points.
* Use the active voice and write about literature in the present tense.
Thanks! Make sure your draft is typed, double spaced and stapled to the original draft.
Ms. Weiss
