Extreme Sports Writing Task

Goal: Read and understand the writing task. Get started on an introduction and a thesis. Begin gathering evidence for the rest of my essay.

Agenda:

1. Read
2. Locate your extreme sports writing task document in your shared with me section of your Google Drive. (Do not make a copy of it.)
3. Read through the writing task including the scoring guide at the end. 
4. Choose the quote you want to work with (highlight it on your document) and begin your introduction. 
5. Consider what pieces of evidence you want to use in the following paragraphs of your essay. 

The draft of your complete essay is due Monday 5/2 for peer review. The final draft is due Friday 5/6.

Reminders:

• Book reviews happen Wednesday next week. (I will NOT accept them late or regrade any incomplete work. You were warned.)
• Friday 5/6 is the end of the grading period. Check your English Journal. Are you missing anything? Could any of your work be better? A little effort now can really help you later.
