- In class, you will turn in a paper copy of your "Who am I?" essay and your 6-word memoir. Your memoir can be on card stock, regular paper (colored or white), poster, etc. I have had some people ask me if they could do more creative things (like make a 3-D memoir), and that's all fine with me. As long as the 6-word memoir is high-quality, you're all good.
- On TurnItIn.com, you will turn in a digital copy of your essay by 4pm.
- I have had some people ask me what specific things I am grading for. When I see a "10" on the rubric, I think that a "10" must be:
- written in a thoughtful, authentic, and engaging voice
- written with elaboration that provides specific details (remember we talked about concrete details [CD] today?), action verbs, and proper nouns
- written with conventions in mind, which means a careful eye for grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
