And now for something fun...

We have all next week off! Aren't you all excited?

While you're on break (and the week following, until we meet again on Friday), work on putting the recipe you worked on in class into an essay format. You'll get your Illustrative Essay drafts back after spring break - and will have two weeks to revise before handing in a final draft.
In the meantime, however, you get to work on your recipe - make it coherent, easy to understand and possibly follow. You don't need exact measurements (unless those exact measurements are essential - if you're baking, maybe emphasis on exact measurements is required?) - you need to put together a focused essay about how to make a favorite food.
Also, be sure to read pages 227-232, about process essays, in your Evergreen book. Use the chart that the book offers on page 231 to organize your steps.

My next post will be a recap of of what goes into your midterm portfolio - due the Friday after spring break. As your grade is primarily dependent upon your portfolio grades, be sure to take this seriously!
