All Graded

Dear Class,

 

I just wanted to let you know that I have graded everything you have submitted so far in our class. Please go review your grades and my feedback--particularly the rubric and video feedback for your analysis essay.

 

It was a very cerebral experience to devote hours to your analysis essays each day, trying to see how to help each of you move forward so you write as well as you can in your future essays. If you have any questions about my feedback, please let me know. If you would like to see a student Analysis essay demonstrating how to achieve the various requirements according to the rubric, I'd be happy to send that along. Some students don't like models, but others appreciate them. Just let me know what I can do to help you. Don't forget the extra credit pledge opportunity (see my last email).

 

You are such a bright group, and I look forward to seeing your future work.

 

Finally, I'm looking at ways to make it so you have no homework due during Thanksgiving Break. How do you all feel about having you Thanksgiving week homework all due the next Monday, December 2nd? I know it may seem daunting to get that much work done by Monday night, but I wanted to get your thoughts. I'll also look for ways to lessen the load for that Monday.

 

Thanks so much for your hard work.

 

Love,

Sister Bowen
