The Stage is Yours!
The goal of
this essay is for you to pick a topic of your choice and write an essay. The
topic should be something you care about and something you think others would
want to hear. You will be reading the essay to the class for a presentation
grade, so don't choose something that is too private. (Be sure the topic is
appropriate. Check with me if you are not sure.)
700 word check will
happen around January 25
Final draft and
readings begin on Friday, February 3
The main grade will be to have perfect
spelling and very few grammar errors.

for a long piece rather a well-written piece.)
