The FINAL Agenda

Finish your rough draft first. I can score your rough draft.
Your final draft goes on the State Writing Assessment paper.
Write as clearly and neatly as you can.
Use your best spelling, grammar, and conventions.
You MAY Microsoft Word to spell check. 
You MAY use the dictionary to confirm the meaning of a word.
You MAY use a thesaurus.
You MAY listen to music, so long as you are the only one who can hear it, your mp3 player is on the desk, and you don't touch it while anyone is still testing.
You MAY NOT text or play games, even after you have finished.
Yearbook signing festivities will commence AFTER EVERYONE is done. We may have people writing up until the last minute. They deserve a quiet writing space. Thanks in advance.

Agenda, June 5

1. Ten minutes: Gather as much evidence about Who's to Blame? as you can from your classmates. You need to cover the whole play, so if all your evidence is from the last two acts, dig deeper.
2. Three introductions, two bodies, and one conclusion.
3. Let the finals begin! Get an empty seat between every body.

• This is an "essential skills" work sample. No help from your teacher, your classmates, or the internet. 
• No talking.
• You MAY listen to music under the following conditions: you're the only one who can hear it, your mp3 player is on the corner of your desk, and you don't touch your mp3 player during the test.
• Texting during this final will nullify your score and result in a zero.
