Class today: November 7th

1. I have postponed our Gilgamesh Socratic Seminar for November 9th/10th. Please bring your text and 5 higher level questions to class with you.

2. Final draft submission: Presidential Election Paper-Tuesday, November 8th BY 6:59 PM

• Reminder: there is a sample student argumentative paper found under "writing links". This resource can be helpful in looking at the components of argument, MLA citation/formatting, quote integration, transition usage. BE AWARE. The works cited is not MLA 2016. 
• Before submission, go through the self-check list to make sure that you have addressed all that you need to for this paper: Presidential Paper Final Checklist
• Remember the BIG THREE skills I need to see that you can demonstrate: Source introduction/contextualization/citation/explanation; argument for thesis throughout the paper (everything connects back to thesis); MLA formatting and citation done correctly
• Turnitin.com Information. (You should already be enrolled from Summer Reading)
