HW due Tue., 9/22

Fill in the Buddy Matching Sheet for your potential Newcomers H.S. buddy (unless you've already done it).

Finish the rough draft of your first paragraph. Just because you have it done doesn't mean you shouldn't keep working, however.

The rough, but edited, draft of the whole essay is due Friday. And your last work period in class is tomorrow.

NO HW DUE MON., 9/21.

HW due Fri., 9/18

Make and type (and have available on electronic format for Monday) a detailed outline for your essay.

HW due Thu., 9/17

Type up quotes and facts/details that you think would be potentially useful for your essay. You will have more quotes and information than you will actually be able to use in your essay, of course.

These should be on both modern and historical slavery.

Make sure you save them safely in electronic format, as you will be doing an outline next, and then you'll want them available for us in class when we use the laptops next Monday. PRINT UP A HARD COPY TO TURN IN AND THEN FILE IN YOUR WRITING FOLDER.

Don't forget that your Life Awareness packet is also due at 1pm tomorrow!

HW due Wed., 9/16

Take notes on modern slavery in preparation for writing your essay.

Tomorrow, you will be selecting quotable material and details for your outline, so be mindful as you take notes.

You will work in small groups tomorrow to share your research like you did with historical slavery.
