For Tuesday, March 15^th:

Portfolio:

• On the left side, include all the papers—freak, character, profile—that you’ve written so far. For each, you will need four things: the original, the rewrite, the transcript, and the boo-boo page. (And aren’t those two beautiful sentences that use a dash and a colon?)

• On the right side, insert your beautiful essay. It must include…
  • these sentences:
    • dash
    • -ing
    •  ;
    •  :
    • and maybe a simile, if inspired

• a “Works Cited” page at the end;

• at least one quote or statistic in each of the body paragraphs, plus a citation for that reference in parentheses;

• all the things that a persuasive must include (see the handouts).

• And have your cassette tape all cued up to fresh tape.

• And also include a “Dear Jimbo” letter that lets me know how you’re doing. You might want to include your thoughts on what to write for the upcoming I-Search paper.

Reading: Read and respond to the first 48 pages of Nickel and Dimed. Mark the sentences in your book that stand out to you. Be sure to free-write (about 10 minutes) on both the content and the writing of these pages. Be specific.
