Hi all!
I wanted to let you know that I am grading your "Value of Literature" essays. You may see a grade posted in the gradebook and freak out -- don't worry! Remember that every grade below at 90% has an opportunity to rewrite. I'll explain that process Tuesday.
I am a thorough grader (notice I'm avoiding the word "hard"). It can be difficult to receive negative feedback about your writing, but know that this is an important part of growth. By the end of this year you will see so much progress!
PS: be kind to the sub tomorrow
