Tuesday, October 5 and Wednesday, October 6

Freshmen: Today we established a criteria for judging whether or not an essay is effective, and we also began answering a list of questions in an effort to determine what some topics might make good essays for each individual writer in the class. You should read for 20 minutes, answer the questions (you need a total of 12 topics for class on Thursday), and be ready for the vocab exam on Friday.

Sophomores: Today we talked about things to improve upon as writers. You are to review the essay you turned in to turnitin.com, the notes you took today in class, and the citation and transition notes listed on this blog, and improve your essay. A paper copy of your revised essay is due on Friday, October 8. Also due Friday is your vocab work. Continue to read from The Power of One - see the blog for the reading schedule.

CNF: Today we had a seminar on Chapter 5.
