In class, we reviewed the article, “Hello, Stranger,” and discussed students’ responses to both essay prompts A & B.
Students also had a chance to work in groups and critique sample responses to the essay prompts.
Homework:
1) Continue revising your Personal Narrative essay. Again, I encourage you to make an appointment with a tutor at the Learning Center, or schedule an appointment with me, to help you with the revision process. This will help you earn a higher grade on the final draft due on Wednesday, 10/3. **Again, there a number of things you must hand in, so please review these requirements from the previous post on 9/24. Papers that are missing any of the listed components will not be accepted and incur a late penalty.
2) Read and annotate the article handed out in class, “The Science of Paying It Forward,” as if you were preparing for the midterm exam. See the preparation guidelines under the “Exams” tab. We will have a mock-exam in class on Wednesday. The essay questions will be distributed then. (*Please bring looseleaf paper on which to write your essays.)
3) Prepare for the next grammar quiz on Topic 3: Verb Tense & Who vs. Whom. The next quiz will be on Wednesday, 10/10.
