Timed Classification Quiz (This is worth 50 points. Your grade for the classification essay will not “go in” until you do revisions. The timed draft and the final draft are averaged together for the final 100-point grade.)  Students, you must complete this essay in 50 minutes which will help prepare you for the exit essay which you will take at the end of the semester. You’ll have 50 minutes to type the entire essay. You MAY use the outline which you created earlier in this week’s module which goes along with Chapter 13, but you may not use an essay that is already typed. I will review Canvas records, and I will have you re-do the essay with point penalties if I determine that you have copied and pasted an essay you already completed. Not practicing writing a timed essay will only hurt you in the long run when it truly affects your grade.  I will grade the essay, and then you’ll have a chance to make revisions; I will then average the two scores together for your classification essay grade. Be sure to allow about 40 minutes to type the essay, then spend 10 minutes revising, editing, and proofing. Remember, prewriting should be completed BEFORE you come to class. You MUST have 5 paragraphs: Introduction, three body paragraphs and a conclusion. Choose a topic at the end of the chapter on classification writing.  DO NOT WORRY ABOUT A TITLE PAGE OR APA FORMATTING.
