This weekend homework is to read pages 1-57. In the 8-9 a.m. class we spent a bit too much time on the freewrite and didn't have time to talk about last night's homework which was to read the introductions and preface, along with the next section in Elements of Style "Elementary Principles of Composition." We will continue on Monday, March 19.

The other homework was to prepare for the cyber-essay due Tuesday before midnight. There is a brief outline on the essay assignment sheet; however, I have given you a formal assignment here. You can also extend your freewrite as an essay response to the question posed today: Do you think the War Against Terror has been an effective strategy? The assignment was to look at the question through one of the following lens: Iraqi citizens, the Bush Administration or the government, American citizens, veterans, one of the countries in the Axis of Evil: North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Iran, or Iraq.

Note: I am hosting a symposium on Incarcerated Women in California's Prisons, Tuesday, March 27, 12:30-3 p.m. in the F-Bldg. Come by and participate for extra credit.

I hope to see you and your families Sunday, March 18, 12:30 at the Oakland Museum. We will meet in front of the museum on the 10th Street side (across from Laney).
