Composition I – 2nd Quarter
2014-2015/Mrs. Sadler
“May the force be with you.”
This is the intended course of study for 2nd quarter Composition I. Additional assignments may be made at the
teacher’s discretion. Dates are subject to change; however, once a date has been finalized, no exceptions will be
made. An absence on a date an assignment is due (either for peer editing or in final form) will result in the final
grade for that assignment being lowered one full letter grade. CREDIT LOST FOR MISSED WORK MAY NOT BE
MADE UP!
