Revisions of the midterm took all the class time. Come prepared Thursday with your outlines, initial planning sheets, and prepared to write your essay. You will have 90minutes to write a 3-4 page essay.

You will be graded on how well you answer your question, also on how you tie the themes of your book to the on-going narrative that is hip hop culture, in this case, hip hop literature.

You will not be able to revise this essay, so come prepared. I will be walking around, so if you write a sample essay, you will not be able to use it. The essay needs to be written in class.

If you miss class, I don't know what to tell you. This is your final. Students will present their essays next week for an additional grade. Don't forget the abstracts. It is unfortuate that students were not able to spend time developing questions together. If anyone has a question he or she would like feedback on I encourage you to go to the Writing Center and talk to a teacher/tutor. Students can also speak to a librarian.
