Category: Unit 1 (Page 2 of 3)

Many times, students don’t know the rules when it comes to writing emails to professors. This isn’t their fault! There are so many rules, how could a person keep track? That’s why I want you to practice this extremely important genre of writing. First, watch this slide show about emailing a professor, and then write me an email either: 

1. Asking me a question about Unit 1. This can be a question you have about the assignment or about your essay in particular or
2. Explaining to me how your essay is going. 

Don’t use Chat GPT!!

If you have something else you want to talk about, feel free to write about that. These topics are really just there to give you ideas. Do your best to follow all the guidelines given in the handout! If you don’t get it right, that’s okay, but give it a shot. 

• THINK: Think of one specific incident that changed your views on education. Picture the scene.
• REVIEW : Please review the slideshow we watched in class about what paragraphs are. You can find it HERE

WRITE: a blog post of at least two distinct paragraphs describing one specific incident that changed your views on education using Concrete, Significant detail. The incident you described in class will be a great place to start.
