New classroom policies are now in effect. If you speak a language other than English during class time, you will receive a warning telling you to speak in English. If you continue to speak in a language other than English, homework assignments you have submitted will drop in the amount of points you received to zero (every time you speak in a language other than English, another assignment will worth zero points--this can apply to whole groups even if only one of you doesn't use English). In addition to this, you will no longer be able to sit in the back two rows. If you do, you will be marked as absent for the day.
I asked you guys to submit a lot of different things to me this week, so I just wanted to give you a recap on what is due.
Your PAPER 2, is due at 11:59 PM Wednesday, October 20th (today).
You have to write a thesis statement for an argumentative essay about capital punishment (the death penalty). Name the file Thesis1_FirstName LastName and upload it to your ESL114_FirstName LastName folder in DropBox by Friday, October 22nd at 2:59 PM.
You also need to brainstorm ideas for argumentative essay topics. You will want to come up with two possible paper topics. After you have the topics, write thesis statements for both of your topics and email me the topics along with their corresponding thesis statements and your name by 7 PM on Thursday, October 21st.
Also, your group argumentative paragraphs should have been submitted to me via email with each member of the group's name in the email no later than 5 PM today.
