FIRST DRAFT: You MUST distribute copies of the first draft of your paper to your small group on Tuesday, April 29. (Just give me a copy of the first page.) On Thursday May 1 small groups will meet to discuss the first drafts. This is an important step. If you do not participate, you will likely write a poor paper. I do not give good grades to bad papers.

Sample quizzes:  #1 (html) (pdf) #2 (html) (pdf) #3 (html)(pdf)
