IMPORTANT

You should be attentive to each of these requirements.  if you do not do or complete any one of these, points will be deducted, and you won’t get as a high grade as you would have otherwise. For instance, if you write a successful argument but don’t include a Works Cited, points will be deducted.

You may feel that these tasks are unimportant or too much effort, or you may be unsure about how to succeed at these tasks, but this is the time to learn them, make mistakes, be corrected, and try again.  In writing classes beyond English 1A, and in other disciplines such as history, sociology, etc., you will not be getting support when it is time to write papers. Now is the time to be practicing and asking questions.Â
