Writing Assignment: Choose Writing Prompt # 1 (Description of an object or Place) or Writing Prompt # 2 (Color Essay). Both of these prompts are short writing prompts. You must have a typed draft. Due: Friday, March 18. If you are absent, please e-mail me your paper on that same day. A day late will be accepted via e-mail on Saturday, March 19 & two days late will be accepted on Sunday, March 20. Of course, each day late means a letter grade lower. No papers will be accepted after Sunday, March 20.
