We are now in the home stretch for the fall semester. You should have a good sense of your course grade up to this point (please check the Gradebook). Speak with me after class about any questions or concerns. All final work for the class will be due by 12/19. This includes the final course reflection on OpenLab, plus revisions to Units 1, 2, 3.

In-Class:

•  Read Annie Correal’s “Love and Black Lives, in Pictures Found on a Brooklyn Street.”
• Listen to the  Podcast,  FOUND: “To My Darling Etta Mae”
• Discuss
  • 1. What do you notice about the way Correal begins and ends her essay? What effect does this approach have on the reader?
  • 2. How does the podcast differ from the NYT article?  What does the podcast genre offer us that the newspaper article does not/ what does the article offer us that the podcast does not?

HW:

• Continue working on Unit 3!  We will review different genre guides together. Google Doc Template to copy and paste into our Class Unit 3 Google Drive folder
• Unit 3  is due in the Google Drive 12/10.   Remember you can access the Drive under MAJOR ASSIGNMENTS.

Everyone,

Happy Wampanoag Day. This week I am not assigning any new work. Let us take this time for resting, catching up, and/or beginning to think further about Unit 3.  I will post our next assignment at week’s end.

Things you can catch up on:

1. Finish or revise Unit 2 RAB and upload to Google Drive Unit 2 Folder; email me if you want me to review your revision in Google Drive or discuss how to approach the revision
2. Revise Unit 1 and upload to Google Drive Unit 1 Folder; email me if you want me to review your revision in Google Drive or discuss how to approach the revision
3. Complete any missing OpenLab posts, including Weeks 12/13 (note: Gradebook not yet updated; please get your posts in!)
4. Review your grades in the OpenLab Gradebook; contact me with any questions
5. Schedule Writing Center appointments in advance, as we are nearing the end of the semester!
6.  Call or text me with any questions or concerns

Hi Everyone,

As we discussed in class today, many folks need to finish up Unit 2. I have left comments and grades for all who completed the work already. Others, please be sure to turn in the assignment by this Sunday, 11/21.

Next Tuesday, we will not meet as a class. We will use the time for catching up with previous work and/or revision work on Units 1 and 2, moving forward with Unit 3 (I will post a new assignment at the beginning of next week), and taking care of ourselves.

As I mentioned, I will be available for phone conversations and Zoom conferences next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Do not hesitate to reach out if you would like to go over any of your class work, or if you have any questions.
