Goal: To set you up for finishing a draft of your paper
We'll start with writing an email to your parents asking that they attend your senior project presentation. Here is the link again to the Senior Project Presentation to find your date and time. Here's are the tips from Matt on what should be in the email....
1. Welcome them to view your talk and defense.
2. Your time slot and date of talk/defense
3. The format (15 minute talk in the "TED" style, followed by a 20 minute thesis defense)
4. Your research question
5. The aspect of the talk/defense that you are most looking forward to (or scared of, or both).
6. Attendance of 1 parent is REQUIRED
7. Extra Credit option: Extra credit points are available for each additional family member or outside guest. This can be a lot of extra credit!!!
8. Share the link with them, so they may see the schedule and come to any other interesting talks or support your friends!

Jesse Hutt also wants me to remind you to email her your senior quote today.
Now, we're ready for the final peer critique. Find a different partner than yesterday and fill out the handout for Peer Critique 3. I've simplified the Part IV section and ask some simple questions for Part V. You should be able to answer these even if your partner at this point just has an outline.
If you didn't do yesterday's peer critique and want to do parts III and IV, go for it. Get the feedback you need to succeed. Send me pages, outlines, or drafts. If you have a draft done, send it to your advisor and get a meeting on the calendar with them so you can get their feedback as soon as possible.
Homework due on Friday, April 24th
Finalize your draft. Proofread your pages to find typos and other errors. Do the Comma Skill Exercise. Finish up any outstanding pass/fail assignments: outline, deep reading, bibliography, etc.
