作文Requirements

Here’s how your 作文 requirement works.

Write two 500字作文 and one 1,000 字作文in the course of the semester. All three 作文must discuss the topics in the common reading assignments.

• ５００字作文I 3 %
• ５００字作文II 3%
• １０００字作文III 6%

You must submit three drafts for each sakubun. The due dates are as follows:
---------ドラフト１----ドラフト２---ドラフト３
作文１ 　 ９月２２日 　 ９月２９日 １０月　６日
作文２ １０月１３日 １０月２０日 １０月２７日
作文３ １１月１０日 １１月１７日 １２月　８日

• I am sometimes late returning your submission, so please bear with me. I will still accept late turn ins (not due to my tardiness), but you may not receive full credit for it. I do expect you to turn in the first draft of each sakubun on schedule.
• Please mark clearly which sakubun and which draft you are submitting.
• The third and final draft is evaluated for:

1. Linguistic structure, logical sequence, argument formation
2. Appropriate use of vocabulary and gramma
3. Content and originality of thinking
