Before You Submit Your Essay
Subject: A Final Check Before Friday
Hi class,
Your essay is due Friday by 6:00 p.m. Before uploading it, make sure your introduction clearly states your main idea and each body paragraph includes an example that supports it.
Several drafts have interesting ideas, but some examples do not connect clearly to the topic. Focus on those connections instead of simply adding more sentences.
You may revise your draft using my comments. If a comment is unclear, bring your question to Thursday’s class.
Please upload your work as a document, not a photo.
Ms. Rivera
VOCABULARY
Write the words or expressions from the message that are new to you or that you want to review.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Share your thoughts. Use details from the message to support your answers.
What does Ms. Rivera want students to improve beyond completing the essay?
Why might adding more sentences fail to solve the problem she noticed?
How does the message give students both responsibility and support?
