Homework assignment:
1) Make 3 significant revisions to Essay 4. Be sure they are significant -- that they actually make the writing better -- maybe MUCH better. Remember MARCCRT -- Make music, Add, Rearrange, Cut, Combine, Repeat, and use Thesaurus words. I will check these revisions in the morning and give them a grade.
2) Carefully cover your copy of A Tale of Two Cities. Please include some reinforcement for the front and back covers.
