Homework due Monday and Tuesday; Reminders

1. Have a great weekend!
2. Revise your composition #1. Remember ARMS: A=Add; R=Remove; M=Move; S=Substitute! Bring your revised composition to lab on Monday. You will post it onto your blog so if you can bring it on a flashdrive or email it to yourself, that will be great. THE TUTORS CAN HELP YOU MAKE FINAL TOUCHES TO YOUR ESSAY BEFORE YOU POST.
3. Read Sunday in the Park. For Tuesday's class, write a short summary of the story (7 - 8 sentences) in paragraph form. Also include at least two questions you have about the story, a word, a sentence, or a paragraph. Please post the paragraph and the questions on your blog by the end of lab on Monday so I can read it!
4. Next week we will cover Troublespot 2 in class. Please read it! You will do all the exercises by the end of the week so if you want to start doing some over the weekend, that would be great!
