LAST CLASS TOMORROW

Tomorrow will be a writing workshop for HAMLET. Please come to class with a rough draft and we will either peer edit or I will look at your essays individually.

Dos and Don'ts for FINAL Paper on HAMLET:

1, Don't spell Hamlet or Shakespeare wrong

2, Write in present tense

3, Make sure every sentence makes sense and goes toward what you are trying to prove. ie. Don't add lines that you don't need, to fill up the page requirements.

4, Make sure you have a clear thesis statement

5, Do not hand in a first draft (I'll know)

6, Use atleast five quotes from the play.

7, Email me a first draft by Wednesday and I will look at it and give you feedback.

PAPERS DUE: FINAL DAY friday, DECEMBER 11, 2009 Via email at
lgcupolo@memphis.edu or lcupolo@gmail.com

Thanks, everyone, you were a terrific class.
Have a wonderful holiday season!!!! Remember, be safe.
