You can have your works cited ready and printed out, and have your quotes & thesis
REMEMBER: NO CONTRACTIONS or PERSONAL words
The paper rubric is on Smith's Teacher page :)
USE THE TOOLS YOU HAVE: go to thesaurus- us the SAT words!!
Show don't tell- use HUGE words to describe
TIME: you have an hour and 1/2 hour--spend about an hour and 15 minutes to write and leave 15 minutes to proof read- go SLOW and read in OUT LOUD (to yourself)
Take time to put it in Microsoft Word because google docs won't have spell check and grammatical error check
GOOD LUCK!!
