Argument Abounds

The deadline to enter your essay in the KITE RUNNER ESSAY CONTEST has been extended to FEBRUARY 2, 2007.

 Students who did well in their 1301 courses are strongly encouraged to submit their essays!

In addition to the prize money (up to $500), winning this contest would look fabulous on applications to graduate school, scholarship applications, etc. Winners will have the opportunity to participate in enriching campus activities, as well.

Please contact your 1301 teacher and/or visit http://www.uta.edu/uac/one-book/contests-2006-07 for further information!

Thanks!

This Peer Workshop Form will be used in class on Friday. Final essay grades are based upon process as well as product, and peer review sessions are a mandatory part of the writing process. Missing peer review sessions will significantly affect your essay grade. If, however, you must miss class on a peer review day due to an unavoidable circumstance, you may print the Peer Workshop Form (linked above) and take it to the writing center for completion.

For your convenience, I am also providing you with a copy of the Grading Criteria for Claim Detection Essay. I hope this document may be useful as a checklist for revision.

Happy writing!
