Narrative Essay due Wednesday, September 25th!

Dear English Scholars,

You have all been working so hard on your Narrative Essays and I cannot wait to read them! If you are on track, you should have completed your last paragraph last Wednesday so all you need to do now is type it all together. 

Below is the Rubric that I will hand out in class. I will use this to grade your essay. If you check off everything on this list, you will get a good grade! This is worth 40% of your grade... just like a test!
