PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO A GRADE YOU WANT!
Get the Bly summary in to boost the formative grade!
Concentrate on one of the papers assigned this week for a summative boost!
If you need two summative boosts, do both the papers!
As of 4/14 at 10am, all Shakespeare Project grades are in that help your grade.
Some body bios, Venn diagrams, speech analyses were amazing. Others meh. The presentations scored the highest (ones that were embedded in order in a PowerPoint). The ones that were out of order or ones that made me keep pressing on folders scored lower. There were many Othello titles that weren't in italics, fanboy errors, documentation errors, lack of documentation errors, outlines that weren't outlines or that didn't follow the directions, "major" speeches that were too short, speech analyses that did not include comments on significance or on literary elements, and there were theme statements that were just nouns again. "Revenge" or "jealousy" is not a theme or a so what. Those are topics that have to be elaborated upon to become a theme, just like the "so what?" statement asked you to do. That is why I tried to rephrase a "theme" statement as a "so what?" statement. I even had "Shakespeare" misspelled a few times. ??
Welcome back! I hope you received my email sent on 5 April, the one that asked you to read it to the end.
If you DID NOT RECEIVE IT, PLEASE EMAIL ME! If you want me to use a different email, EMAIL ME!
That is the email list I will use to send you links for future Zoom classes.
Our Zoom classes will be on Tuesdays at 1 or at 3 if you have questions, or just want to chat.
Your assignment this week is to work on the two papers in the blog post below. That's it.
However, I do not want you to email them to me by the 19th. Finish them this week, but hold them for something next week.
So for the virus paper, the MINIMUM (an average B score) requirement is 5 EDITED, perfect MLA formatted pages with ONE or TWO ONLY of the following: run-ons, fanboy comma errors, introductory comma errors, spelling errors, etc. To score an A, one must rise above. A C has more than two. An A is error-free and truly a pleasure to read. I will have an editing exercise for you next week. Same goes for the School Days paper.
