Extension!

Hola Familia,

The essay due date has been extended to Sunday at 12 noon. Just a few more tips/reminders to get you through the next day and a half:

• —Be sure you did not write a story. This is an essay.
• Ask yourself, "Have I included everything I need?" You should have the following:
• Intro paragraph: with a thesis
• 4 Body Paragraphs
• Conclusion paragraphs: 6 sentences 
• Reminder: The topic sentence of every body paragraph should be the reason to support your thesis.
• The rest of that paragraph needs to show that the topic sentence is true.

Are you done writing? Take one last look at your work.

• —Spell check your work. To do this, click “Tools”, then click “spelling”. The spell check will begin.
• —Whisper read your work. As you do this, listen for any mistakes or places where your writing does not make sense. 
• —Make sure your work is “Times New Roman” font at a size “12”. 
• Make sure there are NO SPACES between your paragraphs. They should only be on separate lines. 
• —Be sure your paragraphs are indented. 
• Double space your work. To do this, select the whole document with your cursor (or press CTRL A), click format--> line spacing-->double (trust me, this is the best part).
• —Give your essay a title. Remember, no extra spaces between the title and the first paragraph.

Is your essay longer than one typed page? Don't worry. Be proud! You've done excellent work.
