          And so another week stretches out before us with its promise of happiness gently rapping at our door. What will become of us? Will we find true happiness? It is only by dipping our toes into the waters of of everyday life that we will find out. Dive in, the water is fine.

MONDAY, MARCH 4
Peek-at-the-week
You get to write an essay using each others synthesis prompts! It's true.

TUESDAY, MARCH 5
You will evaluate the prompt that you wrote about for effectiveness, clarity, among other things.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6
You will grade each others essays. Also true!

THURSDAY, MARCH 7
We begin our journey into improving tone and style in your writing. We will start with sentence structure (have you seen my independent clause? He always wants to stand alone-so independent!)
Apprenticing the greats-craft through imitation.
