--Prior to next class, reread your introduction "rough draft" from today’s Writing Workshop block. Make any necessary changes in order to improve your writing piece. Then, type your introduction in proper MLA format for submission at the beginning of next class block. Your final essay will be due next week on Tuesday, 9/17, so plan accordingly! We will have computer access on Friday, so you might want to bring a flashdrive with your saved work as well.
