Weather and Final Drafts

I know lots of you are freaking out about various things, so here's a sort of run-down on the issues:

1. I'll do MLA questions with 8th period and any 1st or 2nd hour people who couldn't make it to school Tuesday tomorrow.  Bring your WC and questions to class.
2. I'll extend the deadline for the paper given that some people's MLA questions, survey results, etc. were also delayed as a result of the weather.  The new deadline for the final draft is Sunday by midnight.
3. I'm not reading ANY more drafts.  I read every single person's draft that submitted either to Turnitin (even late) or emailed it to me sometime last week.  I spent an entire week doing nothing for any of my other classes.  Now I have Lit papers to grade before I take another week to grade your final drafts.  Whatever you want feedback on you'll have to get from other sources.
4. You have a word count range of 500-750 words. This is firm.  If your word count is below or above that range it will have an impact on your grade.  Your works cited page is NOT included in that word count.  Ways to reduce your word count:  get rid of repetition, combine and condense sentences, present info more efficiently using a visual, use parenthetical citations (they use WAY fewer words than in-text citations, cut info that is not important to your argument or is LEAST important if you've done everything else you can do.
5. Do a final edit of your mechanics.  Check the obvious:  spelling, sentence structure, usage, punctuation.  Also use the AP English style sheet.  Many of you are using lots of stats. There are rules for using numbers in writing--make sure you LOOK THEM UP and FOLLOW them!
6. Remember that your Works Cited page is its OWN page. Insert a page break after your argument.
