DAY 21, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8

Assignment:

1)
Memorize first stanza of "Barter" for a test tomorrow.

2) Your fourth essay will be due next Tuesday night, labeled "Second Draft for Grading".
However, this time write it in Microsoft Word and just email it to me as an attachment. No Buzzword this time.
This essay will be a four-paragraph paper (using the 11-sentence and 4-sentence formula) on the topic of education or learning (take your pick).

The SECOND body paragraph will be about what you think about education or learning. For your topic sentence, decide what your main belief about education or learning is, and for your three chunks, break that main belief down into three sub-topics or sub-beliefs.
Be sure to mention Atticus again in the second body paragraph, just to tie the two paragraphs together.

Please label the sentences.

An outline of the second body paragraph and the paragraph itself should be posted on your blog tonight (but not on Buzzword).
You do not have to send it to me by email.

In the second body paragraph, use one example of a participle phrase as a sentence closer .

Carefully study Lydia Schulz's essay below, and check out my comments, especially those about her use of participles and appositives. She's shows exactly how it should be done.
