Hi Class,

Thanks for the contributions–and for the outside-of-class communication network. I hope that it will help everybody. Of course, if you have a question the group can’t handle, please ask me.

Note: I updated the Notepad to include all the information I typed on that Word document.

FOR MONDAY:

1–Please complete Quiz 1 by 5pm tonight. Follow the directions on Blackboard (see Content). Email any questions.

2–Write a 1-2 page draft of Essay 1. What I want the class to focus on is the first page. The set up of the essay is fundamental to doing well on this assignment. Please reread the Essay details (see Assignments menu tab). Also, I’ve posted a model first page in the Readings menu tab–at the top. This student example is a very good example of a first page–but I want you to take your essay in the direction that feels natural for you.  I hope my margin notes are visible. You do not have to post your first draft by Monday–but we will by Wednesday. Our goal on Monday is to read and workshop specific parts of the first page as we move toward peer review.

Best,

Prof. Scanlan
