A Word of Advice

For those of you about to take advanced English Composition, I will give you a word of advice: First, do the essays. Second, save those essays in a special folder. Third, get an early start on your research paper. If you follow this advice I can guarantee you a good grade.

No matter how tedious or boring it may seem, just sit down and start writing your rough drafts. Try to write about something that you like, or the 500 word requirement will cause you nightmares. Don't leave the essays for Friday morning and just do them on Thursday evening.

Whenever Mr. Baack hands back an essay, be sure to save it in a special place. By special I mean a place where you will be able to find it at the end of the semester. I myself had some trouble gathering all of my essays for my portfolio. It is very important to save them because you need to select the best essays and hand them in at the end for a grade.

Last but not least, don't fall behind on your research paper. I fell behind and ended up getting a low third partial grade because I missed some due dates. Try and hand everything in on time; it is not that hard. If you hand everything in on time and put some thought into it, you will come away with a good research paper.

If you are smart, you will take into account my advice. If by any chance you have forgotten it, I will repeat it once more. First, just do the essays. Second, save the essays for the final portfolio. Third, don't fall behind on the research paper. Follow them and you will do just fine.
