Homework for Friday

As we discussed in class, bring a copy of your draft to class tomorrow -- it's our last class! We'll meet in the lab and you can put some final touches on your paper.

Be SURE to bring an electronic copy -- email it to yourself or bring a flash drive.

See you then!

We will meet again for our final exam date (a short writing exercise) next Weds, Dec 21, from 1-3.

Homework for Monday

Complete your outline; it is the last page of your packet. This means you will need 4 main ideas and quotes for each of those ideas. I saw lots of good work in class today (Weds). If you weren't there feel free to email me and share your 4 ideas with me, or let me know if you are struggling.

In addition, read through your source to see what issues connect to your paper; start to highlight, annotate, or write down quotes. You can easily search for key words, like "violence", "drugs" or "overcrowding".

Here is a link to an article that has quite a bit of information. I found it on Gale; I think it is different from the one we looked at together earlier.

Please give yourself plenty of time for this project -- this is your final paper!

Also, note the following dates:

Our last regular class meeting: Friday, Dec 16, 12:30-1:20
Our scheduled final exam time: Wednesday, Dec 21, 1-3

Homework for Monday, Dec 5

Hi all -- For Monday, finish reading through chapter 6 in A Place to Stand. Be prepared for a test. Hint: the questions will be a good way to prepare!

As you read, look for issues of the prison system that Jimmy faces.
