Write two complete typed pages (MLA format) on what you learned this semester in our English class. It can go over but cannot be under the minimum without a major deduction. Please note that this is not a formal essay assignment. Your essay does not need to have a thesis or PIE paragraphs. BUT IT NEEDS TO HAVE SOME PARAGRAPH ORGANIZATION. Think about how to organize what you learned into categories and make those categories into paragraphs. A good way to brainstorm or remind yourself what you learned would be to review the Canvas modules. The final should not be a 2+ page single paragraph.
The final will be graded on the following features:
- Thoughtfulness and thoroughness
- Content
- Sentence maturity, varied sentence length and clarity
- Sentence focus
- Proofreading skill
- MLA format, including spacing throughout, heading, and header (page numbers)
- Meeting all the required elements including the following:
-
- Three noun phrase appositives (not just noun appositives) with correct punctuation. Underline the appositive phrase only.
Read your Final Exam OUT LOUD to make sure everything sounds right. Remember reading your own work out loud is the best revision technique there is because we have an internal sense for how the language SOUNDS, so that if it does not sound right to you, you can go in and make it as good as you can.
we read these “I’m Black, You’re White, Who’s Innocent” Shelby Steele & “Still Separate, Still Unequal: America’s Educational Apartheid” , please talk about impact and how connects to my english class.
