Freshman English--Four Pages of Research Paper and Works Cited Page due Thursday (with revisions)

Scholars: Remember. You MUST print out your paper ahead of time. Papers printed out on the day the assignment is due (May 1) will not be accepted. Plan ahead! Printing out papers on the due date adds to confusion and delays the class lesson. I want to instill in you the importance of planning, meeting deadlines, and not impeding the learning of others by causing delays in the workshop. You can do it! You are great students. Always be your best.
