Homework for the weekend is to read either the first part of Letters from Mississippi or the second essay, "Down at the Cross: Letter from a Region of My Mind," by James Baldwin for Monday, March 17. We will be talking about the Baldwin essay 3/17 and "Letters" Tuesday, March 18.

If you are turning in your essay to me Monday, March 17, you can email it to me with all of the parts: final draft, bibliography, works cited, peer review and/or comments, all class notes and writing, including a vocabulary log. We will also complete the essay we started, 9-10 a.m. class on Womanism vs. Feminism.

Have a good weekend. If you go to a protest march Saturday or do something to mark the 5th anniversary of the US occupation in Iraq, if you write about it and post it here, you can have extra credit for a missed cyber-assignment, elsewhere (250 words min.)

The midterm on Thursday will take it's question from At the Cross or Letters. We will do prewriting activities next week, so read the material in advance. Bring Hacker in Monday, students are not using it effectively. An essay has a form; if you are unclear of that form, review the section: The Writing Process.

I'm going to show the video: The Write Course: Argumentation Tuesday beginning 5 minutes after the hour, we'll then use Letters from Mississippi to talk about argument. We'll continue this discussion on Wednesday. Students will need to read the Hacker handout on Argument I gave you a few weeks ago for Wednesday and do the exercises on page 367-368. We will review the answers on Wednesday and identify the corresponding pages in Hacker. We'll also talk about McClintock's propaganda techniques and how they translate into logical fallacies. Bring the essay to class.
