Here’s how to go about re-writing your close reading if you want to do so. The deadline is strict and no re-writes will be accepted after it (no exceptions will be made on this) so be sure to get it done by then if you would like. You are under no obligation to re-write!
1. Anyone (no matter what grade you received) can re-write. Grades can only go up (or stay the same) , they won’t go down.
2. You may re-write one or both of the close readings (it’s up to you).
3. In order to re-write you MUST come meet with me at some point BEFORE the submission day. If you do not meet with me then I will not accept your re-write. The meeting can be at any point in your writing process (you may even have the whole re-write completed) just be sure to bring it with you. We will just spend about 10 minutes discussing the comments I gave you, the reason for the grade, the changes you’ve made, etc. It’ll make the re-write better, I promise.
4. If you submitted your paper late you may still re-write however the late paper “penalty” will still apply.
5. Submission Guidelines: Re-writes are due IN CLASS Monday, May 4 in hardcopy form (note: re-writes will not be accepted by email. No exceptions). **You must staple the re-write to the original (this means, if you received comments by email, you need to print out my version with comments).** All these components must be in place for the re-write to be accepted. In other words, if your commented version is not attached then you will not receive credit for your re-write.
I strongly recommend everyone who is re-writing visit the writing center! If I asked you to do so in your paper comments then I especially urge you to!
