Expository Essay Topic Submission
STUDENTS IN ALL BANDS WILL SUBMIT THEIR DESIRED TOPIC ON 3 MARCH, WEDNESDAY- IMMEDIATELY UPON ENTERING THE CLASS! (FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF CREDIT) YOU MUST TYPE YOUR TOPIC PROPOSAL-NO EXCUSES!
I extended the time to allow students to meet with me to discuss specific questions they may have about their topic of consideration.

LATE Projects
Be advised that I checked the school's daily attendance list... To those NOT present today-when the MAJOR project was due-Why did I do this? (Rhetorical Question)
But I am going to answer it for you! Twenty students were absent from the A-B-D Band Classes.
Only the names of Eight students appeared on the Daily Attendance List!
Hence, those students NOT on the list will lose One-full letter grade when the project is turned-in -if turned-in on Thursday-if not-I will continue to deduct letter grades for each day late!
Furthermore, I will verify all absentee notes-parent contact when you return to school-if you forge a note-further disciplinary action will be taken.
To those students who did NOT turn-in the project today-even though you were present-you will still lose one-full-letter grade. THIS IS FAIR TO THOSE WHO TURNED-IN THEIR PROJECT ON TIME.
PARENTS: Your child had two months for this project!

MLA Style Guide

A reminder: I have also included a link for the "citation" machine (see below).
You must include the page number for the example you are using.
The MAXIMUM number of examples you use from the same text is THREE.
I have also repeated MANY times that you may NOT use examples that appear on the class handouts or examples provided for you on the nicenet.org links.
