We began class with a quick quiz on the course information provided on the Syllabus. Please review the Syllabus for any questions you may have about the course and make sure to reference it regularly over the semester.
We spent the remainder of class going over the Unit 1 readings.
Homework:
(1) Please note that there are no classes on Monday, 9/3, due to Labor Day. Our next class meeting will be next Wednesday, 9/5, and CUNY will follow a MONDAY schedule. Thursday, 9/6, will follow a regular Thursday schedule.
(2) Write a summary of the article titled, “TV Dinners in a Netflix World.” This will be collected in class on 9/5. (Typed summaries are optional, but greatly appreciated!)
(3) Download and print the following Unit 2 readings: Narration and Description. Actively read both texts and be ready to discuss them in class on 9/5. You must bring these readings to class.
(4) Begin looking for a personal picture (that you actually took, not from the Internet) that captures a memorable occasion in your neighborhood or one that encapsulates its spirit. This will be used for a class activity on Wednesday, 9/12. You must print this picture and bring it to class on 9/12.
(5) Reminder: Read the selections in topic 2 “Subject-Verb Agreement & Comma Usage” in the Grammar Guide by Week 5 (9/24).
