Exploratory Essay/Researched Argument

Please be advised that the due dates for this MAJOR Project have changed:

Exploratory Essay: Wednesday, 7 April

Researched Argument: Wednesday, 21 April

If you are absent on the day the assignment is due, YOU WILL E-MAIL ME THE ASSIGNMENT. I WILL NOT ACCEPT THE ASSIGNMENT LATE! NO EXCUSES!
IT IS DUE IMMEDIATELY UPON ENTERING THE CLASSROOM-NOT LATER IN THE BAND NOR AT THE END OF THE DAY! DO NOT ASK ME IF YOU CAN USE THE PRINTER TO PRINT YOUR ASSIGNMENT!

Why the change? Many of your classmates pleaded with me on Wednesday afternoon to change the due dates.

If you are going away, begin working on the exploratory essay immediately.
