Peer Review / "Two Tramps in Mud Time" II

Grade 12
  • Reminded everybody of the importance of being active and engaged learners. Too many students didn't consider the essay question, given last Wednesday, until last night. College will require a shift in behavior patterns very much in line with the concept of "atonement with the father." This means you are to take control of the forces directing your life. College instructors will expect you to swim. Assume they will not throw you a floatation device. In the larger, lecture hall settings, the instructor won't even notice you're drowning.
  • Peer reviewed the myth analysis essay:
  • Peer review:

    1) Grammar and structure
