Research Concerns!!!

RE: Research Paper Proposing a Solution. The presentations have been going well. However, the papers I'm reviewing don't have a minimum of 5 citations in the text and, as discussed in class, 5-7 Works Cited. This is required for a passing grade. Use the Citation Sandwich with each point you provide.

Nov. 24

REMINDER: Tomorrow, Tuesday, the 8:00 class will be observed by Dr. Chinery. Be sure to be on time and ready to go right at 8:00. Dr. Chinery has an important meeting to go to and I don't want to waste any time keeping her away from her meeting.

We have a few presentations and then it's on to a grammar lesson as discussed OR we may do the reverse order, depending on what works best for Dr. Chinery.
