This exam will consist of one essay. I will attach the on the Jupiter assignment on the exam day. Review the readings and your notes to prepare. You should have all of your books and notes/handouts at the ready, and you will spend 45 minutes preparing and then 45 minutes writing the essay you choose from among the 2 or 3 prompts. (You'll see why it's "2 or 3" when you open the exam). Begin, please, by reading my letter. Certainly, if there is illness in your household or other stressors that are affecting your life significantly, know that I will be reasonable about load and deadlines.
The hot seat for the AK sourced argument will be open through Monday 23 March, with the paper due on Tuesday 24 March to the Dropbox by 8:30am. This is a slight extension from the published deadlines on the assignment sheet. *Please include in the same document: your works cited page and a note detailing your hot-seat visits. *Be sure your paper has a heading and your file indicates that this is the final version of the AK sourced paper. Not following these simple directions (which have been in place since 2018) impedes teaching and learning--I will deduct points accordingly. You must turn in a paper for this deadline, even if you have a stamp. For a hot seat, please send your draft paper clearly labeled as a draft; please include a heading on your paper and include your works cited page in the same document. Each student may have up to two hot seats for this paper, and the draft should be as free of usage errors as possible. If the paper isn't reasonably clean, I will end the hot seat. For your meeting, I will find it easiest and best to make a screencast in which I give you feedback (a wish come true, Vanessa). That way you can listen as many times as desired to make sure you understand and then follow up with emailed or texted specific questions. If you would prefer to do a FaceTime call with the document on Pages collaboratively, I can do that easily. If you want to use FaceTime or an audio call along with a collaborative Google Doc, I am game to give that a try.
