Writing the Final

For those of you who must, and for those of you who choose to take the final, here are your directions:

You may either write or type your reponse to the prompt I'll hand out.  You may use the reading and any other references as you write about it.

Your grade should be complete in Moodle by Thursday afternoon;  but the Moodle version of our class will disappear after Thursday at midnight. Then your grade will be in WebAdvisor, but I'm not sure how soon it will appear there.

Have a safe and relaxing break!

Page Count Day

First of all, this.

Then, fill out the handout about your papers, and count the pages.

If you do NOT have 25 pages, pick one of the readings at the bottom of the handout and read it for tomorrow. Bring paper and the book with you tomorrow -- you may use the book while writing the final.

If you wish to take the final to see if it will help your grade, you may. I will only use the points if they DO help your grade.

Here are the reading choices for the final:

"NFL: Dodging the Concussion Discussion/" by Frank Deford on pages 573-574.

OR

"Lazy Eyes" by Michael Agger on pages 609-612.

Remember Curiosity and the Seven Minutes of Terror?

Now meet the folks who made the gears that are up there driving Curiosity around.

You finish the short essay on Mike Rowe. Hand it in.

You hand in your daybook.

Tomorrow bring all Final Versions with their grade sheets for the page count.
