Dear students:
As we approach the midterm, please make certain you have scheduled an appointment to talk about your progress in the class and how you can improve. Grammar assignments are self paced, so if you need direction please come visit me during my office hours.
We will be reading The Tempest next, however, I just found out that the bookstore will not be able to get the No Fear Shakespeare text published by Barnes and Nobles. We are looking at another publisher. I will keep you posted. In English 201 we are reading Newsweek each week. You will keep a writing journal to turn in at the end of the semester.
There will be weekly responses for a minimum of two articles -- one response written in the form of a letter to the editor. You do not have to type these responses.
English 1A Assignments from Dreams and Inward Journeys:
English 1A Reading and Assignment Schedule
Dreams and Inward Journey Selections, Fifth Edition
We will proceed through the textbook chronologically. The rhetorical styles studied will hopefully build upon one another. Please read the introductory sections of each style introduced. You might also benefit from reading the authorÂs note: To the student. Dreams and Inward Journeys is an exploration of a writerÂs internal life, her inner feelings and thoughts and how this shapes either consciously or unconsciously the written product. One of the hopes here is that writers become more aware of these processes though keeping a notebook, and/or dream journal where ideas are collected, sorted, analyzed.
For each chapter, read 2-4 essays within the genre and respond to two. I will let you know when they are due. Some chapters have more essays listed here than others. You can mix and match, as long as you read at least one essay of a particular genre. I just listed the essays I like. You can feel free to substitute others for the various chapters.
