Read Me!!!

Hey Everyone,
Thanks so much for your posts. I would like to remind you that these posts are to be well-developed paragraphs. That means a central idea, supporting sentences and a thoughtful conclusion. They are first-person, informal writing pieces, but do put some thought and effort into each one

Responses such as:
"Today at work I was really tired. I think it is because I did not sleep last night," will not be given full credit.

If you begin a paragraph in this manner, that is fine. But it should be followed by your feelings, attitude and interactions with others that resulted from lack of sleep.

I hope this helps.

DON'T FORGET:
Your weekly time logs are due every Monday!
