Wednesday, September 27
- Discussion: Library resources and peer review (bring hard copy of your Unit 1 draft)
- Reading(s):
- Homework:
- Continue working on your Unit 1 assignment (due October 4th)
- Read and annotate “Later”
- After reading and annotating, write approximately 300 words in which you reflect upon the article (this will be part 1 of your difficulty paper). What particularly did you find confusing, irritating, boring or otherwise difficult?
- I want you to be specific. Quote from the text directly. That is, if you were particularly dumbfounded by a particular passage—quote that passage and explain why you found it confusing. If the vocabulary was difficult, quote a particularly difficult passage, and try to figure out what the author might have been trying to say. Explain why you found their particular word choices difficult. Dig deeply.
- My point in asking you to do this is that usually the places you struggle the most are the places you are doing your best thinking. I want you to stay there a while, even if it’s to explain to me why you don’t understand.
- Due Monday, October 2nd, email or hard copy
Next Week
- Unit 1 due on Wednesday, October 4th
