Happy Monday!

First a little fun.


If you have never seen Groundhog Day, it is your unofficial assignment to watch it this week and laugh your face off.

And now to business!

April 6 Weekly Activities

While you will notice that the activities are essentially the same this week, there is one important addition: We have an official due date for the paper! (see document above) As such, while this week is still optional, we strongly encourage you to make some progress this week, especially if you have not looked at your paper yet during the closure.

You will essentially be shooting for one of 2 goals this week: Submitting an outline to Revision 1 for teacher review or completing a rough draft for peer edit by Friday.

While all previous resources are linked below, here are some key resources for this week:

As always feel free to upload your paper with specific questions for feedback to this week's weekly feedback assignment. You'll see in the document that there is also an opportunity for a peer edit this week.
