Final Exam

Your final exam will be a researched persuasive essay. I will provide you with the topic and research materials. We will be previewing the materials during classtime Tuesday and Wednesday. Please bring colored pencils and/or highlighters to class. You may highlight info. -- but you cannot take actual notes.

Your exam will consist of the following:

  • Properly formatted outline
  • Properly formatted Works Cited
  • Essay (MLA format) with citations after every thought or idea (proper format: numbering etc.)
  • List of "pros" and "cons" of topic
  • You may bring in additional research; however, it must be submitted to me prior to the exam (there is no need to do this -- it is just an option).
