Aoyama Gakuin - IE3 Writing - Elvin

Dear students, Today, you may work on your persuasion essays. I would also like to check your portfolios, so please make sure to bring your essays and homework assignments, and all classwork to class. Ideally, you should keep your work in a clear plastic file, which you will hand to me again at the end of the semester. Kind regards, Chris Elvin

Dear students, Today we will take a look at the persuasion essays in the course book (pg 142-144), and brainstorm ideas for a group persuasion essay. Kind regards, Chris Elvin

For those of you who are currently trying to generate MLA references for your essays, here is a good website which creates references automatically for you; http://www.bibme.org

Dear students, Today you will continue working on your classification I essay. Your a) homework assignment is demonstrate your understanding of paraphrase, summary, and direct and indirect quotations on one A4 sheet of paper (10 points). Your b) homework is to demonstrate your understanding of MLA references, which means both in body citations, which are part of the article / essay, and bibliographical references which come at the end. This also should be on an A4 sheet of paper (10 points). Two other points; Your four homework essay lengths have been changed to between 400 and 500 words. I forgot to take the register last lesson, so please tell me if you were absent last week. Kind regards, Chris Elvin
