Because some of you are trying to figure out when to use your remaining
precis passes, I have entered all of our remaining assignments in
Turnitin.com. You can check it to determine when you want to use your
passes. We have three assignments left where I will ask you to write a
precis.

Don't forget to submit your student comments to
Turnitin by FRIDAY! The file is on the website in an earlier post, and I have
now entered the assignment in Turnitin.com so you can upload your
comments when you are finished.

Have a great weekend! It's beautiful out there!

As you finish your research paper, you might want to use this checklist to make final revisions to your paper.

Good-luck!  I'll see you tomorrow!

During the last week of class, I plan to give each of you a small
gift that consists of nice comments that your classmates and I have
written about you. Obviously, I need your help!

for your class period. Write at least one kind remark about each
person in your class. What will you
remember about each person? What is the
best thing you can say? Be serious and
not sarcastic. I hope this doesn't happen, but if you select not to
write comments about other students, I will not distribute their
comments to you. Don't be a party-pooper!

Please submit your comments to Turnitin.com by Friday, Nov. 20th

Just a tip for those who aren't MS Word experts.

You can press  Ctrl + H 
to use the "find and replace" tool. In the top box, type in "Your Name" and in
the replacement box type "Brian" or whatever your name is. This will change all
the Your Name's into your name.

Please type your first and last name.

Thanks, Brian!
