Please carefully read part 1 of Musings on the 5 Paragraph Essay which is available here. I recommend taking notes of some kind on this reading, so you may want to print so that you can highlight or write margin notes, or you may want to read off your screen and write down important information. Your objective for reading this document is to understand structural and content components of a traditional five paragraph essay and circumstances for which this type of writing might be useful
Additionally, please bring a parent/guardian signature acknowledging the course policies outlined in our syllabus which is available here.
