Midterm Exam
Hi All,
I hope everyone is enjoying their day off by taking a few moments to remember the sacrifices so many people made so that we could be free.
On Monday I handed out an outline for the essay component of your exam. I will be giving you the same copy to fill out (worth marks) on exam day. You cannot bring in your already completed outline; however, you would be wise to take the time to plan out your essay and fill out the outline template in advance.
You will be expected to write both a rough and final draft of your essay.
I only had one student approach me about doing an alternate question for the exam; therefore, everyone else will be approaching their essay using one of the 6 questions I developed.
