Here’s the assignment for this post:

Due by end-of-day Friday 9/11

 READ: “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan: http://theessayexperiencefall2013.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu/files/2013/09/Mother-Tongue-by-Amy-Tan.pdf

While you are reading, fill out a “double entry journal” (DEJ).  How do you do this?  It’s pretty simple. (There’s also a pdf of one in the Class Resources tab.)

  1. In the left hand column of the DEJ, write down four quotes that stick out to you for any reason as you’re reading— you can find them interesting, maddening, funny, whatever. Don’t forget the page number, if applicable.
  2. When you’re done reading, fill out the right hand column. That is, you respond to the quotes you chose.  Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? Be specific! It’s okay to be as opinionated as you like.
  3. When you’re done, take a picture, create post with the title “Tan DEJ – your name” and post it using the category Unit 1 .
