EVEN THOUGH YOU DO NOT HAVE PROF. COUGHLIN’S CLASS ON TUESDAY, YOU DO HAVE MINE– AND YOUR ROUGH DRAFTS ARE DUE ONE HOUR BEFORE CLASS. REMEMBER, MISSING ROUGH DRAFTS ARE WORTH TWO MISSED HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS!
- SIGN UP FOR THE OPEN LAB!
- Read and annotate the correct copy of the Keith Gilyard chapter (excerpt from Voices of the Self) Look– you don’t have to annotate a ton. I just want you to be in the habit of reading with a pen in hand. Draw related pictures if you want. Underline things that stand out to you. Talk back (“that’s crazy!” “What did you do that for?”) Definitely read this before writing your own essay. It’s gonna help you. I promise.
- ROUGH DRAFTS OF UNIT ONE ARE DUE ON THE OPEN LAB– as a post (not a comment)– AT LEAST AN HOUR BEFORE CLASS. YOU MUST POST THESE ON THE OPEN LAB (DIRECTIONS BELOW.) Remember– rough drafts equal TWO homework assignments and if you show up to rough draft day without a rough draft you get marked absent! The assignment itself is listed under the UNITS tab at the top of the page (or under MENU if you’re on your phone.) Review this assignment before you start writing! The RD should be at least 700 words, but I suggest getting as close to 850 as you can– the final draft is due Sept 12.
I will be collecting the triple-entry journal (the homework for Tues Sept 3) and the annotated Gilyard article on Tuesday.
