Due Monday, 11/15/10, Engl 1301-1011 & 1016

1. You should have handed in the in-class essay that
was to be completed on 11/10/10. You should have handed
in whatever you had completed. Be sure that you handed in
something to show that you did work on the essay.

Because of some problems with the availability of computers,
some students did not get the full two hours to complete
the essay. Next Monday, I am giving you the first 25 minutes
of class to prepare the final copy of the essay.

2. I handed you a page titled "Sentence Variety Exercise." This
page contains 13 numbers. Each number tells you what type of
sentence to write and gives you two sententences to be combined.
We did similar sentences in class. Write your sentences on the
handout; you do not have to type these. They are worth 7
points per number.

3. The next handout has two stapled pages with printing on both
sides. Page 1 explains the writing that will come from this
exercise. The next three pages contain an article on each page.
Carefully read the three articles. You are trying to find
evidence that "The drinking age should be LOWERED to 18," OR
evidence that "The drinking age should NOT be lowered to 18."
You can underline or highlight information in the articles.
That's all I want you to do. Just find information that will
support one of the statements or even both statements. DO
NOT WRITE AN ESSAY. Just hand in the three articles with
information underlined or highlited that will support the
statements. If you did not get these, come by my office
tomorrow and get them.
