Analyze This

While you're continuing to work on your essays, We'll spend class time honing our paraphrasing and rhetorical analysis skills.  The readings will all be in class, so you can devote homework time to making your research essay a thing of beauty.  You'll be bringing a hard copy to class on THURSDAY for some hands-on revising and editing.  Then the final draft will be turned in through Googledocs by Midnight on Sunday.  Tempus fugit!
