Tutorial Class Wednesday February 21 & Main Assignment

Dear Class,

Wednesday's class will be a tutorial class. To complete your Main Assignment: Final Draft by Thursday 8 a.m., the most important work you need to do at this stage is to finish your research, and write, read, and rewrite. Therefore the best use of time at present is individual work or peer review or a tutorial with me, and not to meet as a whole class.

So, if your most important need is to do individual work on your Final Draft, do not come to class Wednesday.

However, if you want to peer review your Final Draft with a friend, you can meet in our classroom or any other place (e.g the Library, Starbucks, etc.).

But, if you want a tutorial with me, you must 1) Post your latest writing to your blog and I will do my best to read it before your tutorial and 2) Sign up for a tutorial on the DIY Textbook, Tutorial Sign Up. I do not mind if two of you come at the same time, but definitely not three at once. Certainly, an individual tutorial is best for you personally. When you come along to class you must be organised to use the whole time - do not spend 45 minutes waiting for your tutorial.

VOF Main Assignment: Final Draft Essay 50%

Post the final draft of your essay to your blog. 800 -1000+ words, MLA style. Use 5+ sources (mix articles, books, WWW), the majority must be English sources. Use subheadings for each section. The assignment requires Header, Outline, Student Information, Title, Final Draft, and Works Cited. Use Sample Essay as a basic guide. Please use the title: VOF Main Assignment - Final Draft Essay.

**Please note: The due date for the Main Assignment is Thursday 8 a.m., February 22. Your paper MUST be submitted on or before this date. The Syllabus allows for submission of minor assignments up to two (2) days after the due date, but this rule does NOT apply to the Main Assignment.
