All Language Arts Students: Over the vacation students are asked to do several things to help them improve and maintain their grades.
All students with rewrites of your narrative essays please be advised that you must write them over. Please do not print the same essay again and turn it into me you will receive a "Fail on the assignment". Please do not cross out and make corrections on the paper that I asked you to rewrite if you do you will receive a "Fail" on this assignment. I need a fresh essay and if possible for some of you a fresh new essay. Fresh= new thoughts; a new perspective.
All students over the 3 week vacation must complete a 6-7 page research essay. Your essay topic is on the current housing crisis. You are asked to research every area of the current foreclosure dilemma. People are losing their homes in alarming rates due to adjustable home loans. The government has stepped in to help some people, the President spoke about this dilemma last week, and Senator Clinton offered a proposal to help end this crisis. For research you should use newspaper articles, video clips, and written proposals on this issue. Just to name a few sources. This issue will be forever apart of our history.
Use your text book and study pages R51-55 and pages 818- 825 to help you thoroughly research this historical topic. This essay should be typed (no excuses you have 3 weeks to turn this in to me) double spaced, new times roman, you should have no more than 3 grammar errors, no more than 3 spelling errors, and no more than 3 usage errors. All students should have a work cited page or a bibliography page, this page is not included in the 6-7 page requirement. All students must have an outline of this essay to turn in with your 1st draft, 2nd draft, revision, and final essay.
This entire assignment is worth 500 points please use the rubrics and criteria in your text as well as the printed handouts that you were given for writing.
If you have any questions you may email me at afa0882@lausd.net until next Monday, December 24th. I will assume that students who are really working will ask questions now instead of waiting until the last minute.

ms lawson i have a question. my question is if can write about a man named paulson he thinks that the goverment needs to help the markets work the way they're intended to work and avoid those foreclosures that are preventable and Plans to suspend interest rate increases for resetting adjustable rate mortgages are moving forward.
Thank you for your thought provoking question Selene, if you get this in time please send me more information about Mr. Paulson. It sounds like if you ventured down this road it may be more opinion based versus research based information. Please keep in mind this topic is very historical in nature.
