LA+11+January


 * //Pretty simple today, folks...

Your rough copy is due on Monday. Without it, you will have nothing to do in class and might as well stay home and watch [|The View.] Remember, today I am allowing you to listen to music as you work as long as I do not 'see' mp3 players, and you are not on YouTube, etc for your songs. Bring a CD, load up the radio, something like that. If you work really well, you might not have homework! I've included the important parts of this week's work below so you can just have this page open.//**


 * //Good luck!//**

 * //JOB 1: Begin / continue your rough copy. Remember that this is ROUGH, and will be changing according to the topics I approach in the next few days. Do not be upset when I ask you to move things around.

These are the things I will be looking for in your writing:

-- proper sequencing -- effective imagery and description -- paragraph hooks. There must be a minimum of THREE CONVINCING AND (somewhat) OBVIOUS HOOKS! -- dialogue! -- sentence structure and paragraphing! I'm beginning to get grumpy about this -- proper punctuation, etc.//**
