Hey, you guys. Stay safe, ok?
I have a few 2nd drafts from you, and meant to get to them today (busy, busy traveling weekend, sorry!), but have a low-pressure migraine happening. Will get to them as soon as I can.
But mostly I want you all to come out on the other side of this safely. Take care!

• Organized: Is it evident that this paper was planned, is there an order to this narrative? Is the organization clear? Can the reader follow the logic of the essay?
o Exceptional__ X _____ Proficient__ _____ Needs Work__ ____
Flow: Are there logical transitions? Does the author provide enough transitions to help the reader see how points are connected? Is the does the paper read smoothly, or is it jumpy to the reader?
o Exceptional_______ Proficient__ X _____ Needs Work__ ____

Sick
Hey, guys.
I'm sick. Won't make it to class Tuesday 10/ 9. Hope you guys get this before class.
We'll talk about Obama's English on TH (and if you want to include commentary from the first presidential debate, that would be welcome), but our next article is long, so I'm posting it early:
The End of Men
Just print and read and be ready to discuss! :)
Don't worry guys (by which I mean... dudes), the rebuttal comes next. :)
Also, our first paper (after your cell paper) is about your identity--how you choose to identify and what you can and cannot change. I'll give you lots more detail before you start writing, but do start thinking about how you self-identify, in every possible way. (How do you describe yourself?)
See you Wed.
