Finals are in just a few days!

Because of TAKS last week,  we have to do our last two major grades this week, which means we don’t have time for late work.

The last day for late work will be on Wednesday, March 21st.

Today, we started our lady major grade: the college entrance essay. This can be found in the College Essay folder on LMS. Riley found a large amount of real college entrance essays for you to practice with. It needs to be between 500 – 700 words, double spaced, MLA formatted.

If you need help with an intro, go back to the Pimp My Paper folder and check out the tips there!

First block final exam is Thursday and second and third finals are on Friday.
