This is a reminder that the persuasive essays on the topic: "Should high school students be required to pass an exam in order to graduate?" is due on Monday, 2/11/08. It must be typed, double-spaced, font size 12, and 500 words (2 typed pages) minimum. Each day that it is late you will lose 10 points. "My printer at home was out of ink." "My grandmother said she was going to get the computer fixed this week." Not valid excuses. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. If you must, you could email me your essay at lmullen@phila.k12.pa.us. Plan on handing me your paper at the beginning of class. Have it printed out. Have it stapled. Thank you.
