Time sensitive survey

I hope you had a nice weekend...in advance of tomorrow's class, I would like to ask you to complete a quick online survey for a Writing Program project. This will relate to upcoming work, so I would greatly appreciate if you can complete it by tomorrow's class. Thanks so much!

Tuesday In-Class Exercise

As you know from class, a lot of today is about getting your rough draft written.  You have the "building blocks" exercise to complete with your writing time; in addition, I would like you to post to the blog by 9 pm.  Please respond to the following questions.

1.  Which two pieces are you using for your essay?
2.  Why did you choose these two?

The week ahead: a preview

As we are at the start of our third week, with a rough draft on the horizon, I wanted to take a moment to go over what we will cover this week, and the plan of action.

For Tuesday: We will discuss the readings (see the link in the previous post), and summarize each; we will break down the major components of this specific kind of paper; we will discuss good ideas for introductions and conclusions; we will discuss two sample papers; you will complete a "building block" exercise independently, and then post a response to the blog.  

 For Thursday: Please bring two copies of your rough draft for workshop.  In addition to workshop, we will complete an editing exercise to hone our skills a bit before diving in.

Both days this week have in-class independent work built into the schedule--I know we have a lot of writing to do in a short time frame, so wanted to set us up for thorough writing, and successful essays.

See you tomorrow!

New Readings for Tuesday

As discussed in class, here are the remaining readings for our Compare/Contrast Unit.  Please read them all for Tuesday, and write a (single) reading response.

Also, please print these and bring them (along with the previous two readings) to class on Tuesday.

And finally, please come to class with a general idea of which two essays you will focus on for your paper.

Thanks!
