It's the last week before Memorial Day weekend! This week, we'll finish the play A Raisin in the Sun, revise the argument essay draft, and then turn in the final version.
Also, just a reminder, the last day to turn in late work for partial credit this semester is Wednesday, June 3. I'll take any and all work from the entire semester up through the end of that day.
MONDAY A-Day/TUESDAY B-Day: Online, live class on Zoom. (Please see times and login information on the right-hand sidebar.) Discuss A Raisin in the Sun through the end of Act II. Read the parts for Act III, Scene I (the last scene) on a volunteer basis. If you can't make the session, please read the end of the play with the pdf version by clicking here.
Detailed feedback on argument essay rough drafts will be available in Turnitin.com in the form of comments embedded in your essay before your class time, if you turned it in on time. I'll comment on any later ones as they come in, as quickly as I can. If you want to get a jump on revisions and turn the final draft in early, you are welcome to arrange your schedule that way. (See the Thursday/Friday agenda.)
WEDNESDAY A-day only: Offline, work independently. Please complete the "May 20 - A Raisin in the Sun" Discussion Tab post (instead of Wired Wednesday). Be sure to show that you know the play in your responses.
THURSDAY B-Day/FRIDAY A-Day: OPTIONAL live Zoom meeting if you want to hear an overview about how to revise the rough draft and/or if you have questions about your individual essay draft. Otherwise, offline, work independently.
Review the essay feedback in Turnitin.com for your individual rough draft. Using the argument essay rubric, check your draft with each category. For the Style category, check your wording with the "Revisions: From Rough to Refined Guide." Make sure the essay has been formatted in MLA style by looking at the OWL Purdue website (a wonderful reference for the overall look, in-text citations and Works Cited formatting).
Due for all classes: Revise and edit your rough draft argument essay.
Due for A-Day Only: Complete the typed, Turnitin.com online journal entry questions for the "May 20 - A Raisin in the Sun" post in the Turnitin.com Discussion area.
Homework: Please look over your essay one last time, then upload the final version of the argument essay to Turnitin.com by Monday night, May 25 at 11:59 p.m. E-mail me with any problems or questions.
I look forward to seeing you next week on Zoom on Tuesday/Wednesday.
Enjoy the three-day holiday!
