Dear class,

Thanks for your hard work last Wednesday.  Some notes for next class:

-Read “Letter from Birmingham Jail” pp 4-6.  Use the guide questions from last time and our discussion from class to help you.  As always, slow down and use your time wisely.  It helps to read things twice.

–Blog Post #3, first paragraph of Rhetorical Analysis essay: in this paragraph, you will a) briefly summarize your chosen text, b) single out one rhetorical feature that interests/troubles you, and c) explain why this feature affects your understanding of King’s overall argument. Practice the principles from last unit re: summary.

-Scanned annotated pages from Birmingham Jail due next class. Scan in any 2 annotated pages and upload to appropriate Dropbox.

-Bring BOTH King readings to next class.

Please remember that the average expectation of out of class prep time is 6-8 hours per week. If you’re finishing the HW in 20 minutes, you’re probably not doing it right!  As always, please see me if you have further questions.

UPDATE 2/25: Feedback on Blog #2 should now be waiting in your City Tech Email inboxes.  If you still can’t access these email inboxes, please consult the Student Help Desk ASAP!  Also, please note that I have slightly revised the Syllabus policy on attendance, to reflect college-wide updates to the WU grade. Please see “Course Policies” for details.

Sincerely,

Professor Kwong
