Hi Class,

I hope everybody is having a good week.

Here’s what’s going on for the next two classes:

For Wednesday, Sept. 13: Read Rahmani and Santiago in Chapter 3 of our textbook (take notes as needed). Then prepare for a short vocabulary quiz over the Rahmani article. Please bring your book to class.

For Monday, Sept. 18: We will have a reading quiz covering all the readings up to this point (not including Lubrano).

Also: Purdue OWL has good information on writing thesis statements and quoting–check it out by going to the Helpful Links menu tab.

Best,

Prof. Scanlan

Hi Class,

I’ve posted the directions for Essay 1 titled “Education and My Intellectual Home” in the Assignments menu tab.

Hi Class,

I fixed the Salvatore Scibona essay “Where I Learned to Read.”

Now it is a PDF file, so it prints easily.

See you on Wednesday.

Best,

Prof. Scanlan
