Just to let ya'll know, I've posted the essay on your Engrade assignment calendar. If you click on it, you will see the larger description which I gave you in class.
I wanted to apologize for not getting a rubric to you last class so you had a more clear picture of how I will be grading that assignment. I intended to do so, then just completely forgot. So, with no further ado...
Grammar: 7
Intro: 8
Content: 30
Conclusion: 5
Grammar - I'll be looking for a high-school level sentence structure and clarity, including good spelling and appropriate commas, periods, capitalization, etc.
Introduction - I'll be looking for an interesting first sentence or two and a clear thesis.
Content - You should have at least three main, clear points broken down into one paragraph each. They should be supported well by your own intelligent thoughts and quotes from the play.
Conclusion - Your conclusion should wrap up your points and confirm your thesis.
Let me know if you have any questions!

i am glad that grammer is only seven instead of 15 :)
how long should this essay be? like how many pages?
You'll get used to hearing me say, "Just be thorough!" :) But I'll give you a little more detail: a 5-paragraph essay at the high school level should be about three pages. If it's more, great. If it's to the end of the second, that's *passable*, but I'll be looking to see if you really covered the material well. Got it?
:)
double spaced, right? :)
Yep!! :D
Are we going to need a copy of Pilgrim's Progress for tomorrow?
