2. Student presentation

Wednesday
1. I have heard that a substantial amount of people really want this day to drive home, so I have agree to cancel it. However, this negates the guilt that I originally had about asking for a draft of your final essay for the following Monday.

November 26-30

Monday:
1. First draft of the final paper due. BRING TWO COPIES!!! And attach a shared criteria sheet to each one please.
2. If you have a conference on Tuesday, please give the teacher your paper on this day

Tuesday:
1. Student presentation
2. Conferences start on this day

Wednesday:
1. Grammar day. I know what I want to focus on, but if there is anything that you guys are having trouble with, let me know!
2. Quiz on student presentations

Thursday:
1. Student presentation
2. I’m sure that I can come up with something to say on this day
3. E-mail your draft to someone within your group before class on this day. I WANT one e-mailed peer review in you file when this all gets turned in, so make sure that you do this.

Friday:
1. Grammar quiz
2. Wow…this is really far in the future for me to even think about, so I won’t.

This Week's Additional Information
We will be doing conferences about that final paper. If you need more than one conference, then sign up more than one time. If it is more convenient for you to meet me on the weekend, then tell me that too. In the next three weeks, we will be doing what is probably the most used college writing form ever (sounds Star Wars-y when it is said like that). Needless to say, we need to try and keep on some semblance of a schedule so that it runs with minimum effort for everyone involved.
