Hi Class,

Please print out your summary of Malcolm X, and be prepared to discuss your summary and the article.

We will also discuss sentence types, especially the importance of compound and complex sentences in college-level writing.

Best,

Prof. Scanlan

Welcome Students!

Please familiarize yourself with our OpenLab website. I will refer to it often. And it will become a sort of academic home for us. Our assignments, readings, reflections, and helpful links will all be here.

Make sure that you buy the right edition of our textbook: Juanita But, Mark Noonan, and Sean Scanlan, eds. The Place Where We Dwell: Reading and Writing About New York City. Kendall Hunt, 2014. Note: this textbook is only available in print version. It is also available used, for rent, and in the library.

Best,

Prof. Scanlan
