Please remember...

...to come to class tomorrow knowing which essays you plan on using for your second paper...

Thanks!

Please post...

...your one-paragraph response to the readings for Thursday here. Thanks!

("What did you think? Did you agree/disagree? Why?)

Portfolio #1 (Personal Narrative) Checklist

For Thursday, please have the following:

1. Final draft, stapled on its own.

2. Pre-work, all stapled together, including...
a. A representative rough draft (one of the copies from workshop)
b. The "nature" writing you did when we left class early
c. The in-class detail work from last week.
d. An informal, one page assessment of your essay (not yet written...you will write it to turn in with these other materials).

Thanks!

Don't Forget...

The rough draft of the first essay is due tomorrow, and we will workshop them in class.

Please remember:

* It should be complete (but, of course, in a rough draft state, open to revision)
* Typed, double-spaced
* Titled
* ...and please do not forget to bring two copies.

See you then!

First Paragraphs...

As discussed in class, please post the first (rough draft) paragraphs of your essay here in the comments.

Also, please don't forget to bring two typed (double-spaced) copies of your rough draft to class on Tuesday. Thanks!

Blog Prompt--Please Comment

So, for Tuesday, you will have read a number of essays from the beginning of the Reader. Please use the comment feature here to tell us which one you enjoyed the most, and why. Please try to be as specific as you can--try to stay away from "I liked it because it was good" sort of statements. Did you enjoy the details? What happens in the piece? How the writer explains the significance? The subject matter?

Please remember two other items:

1. To complete the survey in the previous post on this blog.

2. To write a "proper" Reading Response and bring it in on Tuesday.

Thanks!
