Final Essay:

1. Review the directions from Thursday. Follow those directions until you are finished typing your essay. 

2. When you have completed your essay, go to my.hrw.com.

3. Your username is your student ID number. 

4. Your password is the lowercase of your first initial, the uppercase of your last initial @402. 

     Example: Molly Smith's password would be mS@402. 

5. Login to your account on this website. 

6. Once you are logged on, find the square towards the bottom of the screen that says "narrative." 

7. Click on this square to open the assignment. This only works on Google Chrome. If the assignment does not pop-up, let Mr. Spivy know. The automatic pop-up blocker has probably prevented this from happening. 

8. Once you have opened the assignment, copy and paste your essay into the text box.

9. If you need assistance, ask Mr. Spivy.

3. Wearing hats will be difficult for Marie now that she is decapitated.
