Jump Off
--Quietly and independently read the information below:

Crafting an AMAZING Literary Analysis Paragraph Response Assignment Details:
  • Re-read your literary analysis paragraph (section IV of the Short Story Unit Exam) with the list from last class/specific feedback for questions 17 and 18 in mind--make revisions accordingly.
  • If you have not already done so, type your revised response in proper MLA format for submission on Monday, January 7th at the beginning of class.
  • This writing assignment will receive three scores total, all three of which will count within the Writing portion of your overall Quarter 2 average:    
    • One score will be determined via the format rubric you picked up last class class--mastery of MLA format is important, so be especially careful!  This score will count once.
    • Another score will be determined via the Meaning, Development, Organization, Language Use, and Conventions framework--this score will count twice.
    • Your M, D, O, L, C score will be included within your Writing Portfolio--remember that you must receive a score of 85% or higher in order for this assignment to go into the portfolio without further revisions/rewriting.
    • Your M, D, O, L, C score will also be converted to a score out of 30 and determine the remainder of the points allotted for your Short Story Unit exam.
