Please give your Works Cited page to Ms. North, and collect it back from her to give to Ms. McKinnon. She will record the marks.

I will be marking essays starting this weekend, with the goal to have them all done by Wednesday, the day before my surgery. Otherwise I will be marking under the influence of heavy pain-killers, which could go either way for you.

Later kids.

Today is the final day for class time work for your essay. Your final draft must be e-mailed to me by 11:59pm Thanksgiving Monday.

Please send an e-mail with your essay attached to mcguiremarks@gmail.com. Please print off your Works Cited page and submit that to Ms North in the library. She will assess your efforts, and send the mark to me.

You must complete a peer-editing sheet and submit that before the end of class. It's worth a few marks if you make an actual effort to help your classmates.

Thanks.

Today I wrote some instructions on the board. They were in ORANGE, so they were hard to read and photograph.

They said:
  • Use MS Word off of your Office 360 account. That is the account made for you by the VSB. It allows you to access your work from anywhere.
  • When writing, use a 12-point, non-serif font. Comic Sans = zero marks
  • Margins should not be touched, your work must be left justified, and your line spacing should be 1.5. I indent all my new paragraphs, in case you're wondering.
  • Make sure your essay has your name, and an interesting title.

Today was your day to write; Thursday is your day to peer edit, polish, and submit your essay. Remember that you must have a works cited page, and it must be shown to Ms North. It's worth 10 marks.

I might set up One Note Notebooks for you, and allow you to submit your finished essay to them. I will let you know Thursday how we will be submitting.

​Onwards.
