    "My Favorite Holiday Memory" 1st Rough Draft Blog #4

    POSTED AT 08:56 AM

     This is your first rough draft. Rough drafts are just that, rough. For this blog, you should have at least your intro paragraph, some middle and possibly an ending. This blog will be your working copy. It will be worth 25 points. We will not be reading these aloud. We will read any that you would like to share at the end of the assignment but not any working copies.
