Smells Like a Kiss to Me

In the interest of Valentine's Day, (have a happy one!) I found this interesting article on kissing. Note the literary aspects of the history of kissing, and the strange evolution from smelling one another. It's worth a read.

As for this blog entry, it will be a short one. I simply want to encourage you to continue working hard on your essays. I think the due date will be February 23rd. Part of this assignment is, as I've explained, to partake in the writing process complete with editing, and revision, and time to develop a quality product. The time is critical. Even if you have not engaged in this process before, you will be amazed at how much your essay will improve if you have time to play with it, think about it, and make significant and detailed changes to perfect it. If you have not completed the rough draft as assigned, you will miss the benefit of a full peer-edit, and review, and time to suitably revise your whole essay. At this point, you should be writing your conclusion, and fine tuning the essay. I will bring back more essays for feedback on Wednesday. Hopefully, you are working on refining and writing the remainder of the essay. 

Please bring your novels next day - we will read again and go over more information about the persuasive essay for the AP exam.

Enjoy the love tomorrow!
