Don't get lost and don't get behind. Keep reading Chang; however, Dyson isn't going away. You need to read the article from Know What I Mean, the chapter with him and Hurt--Track 4. I gave it to you over a week ago, and demonstrated how to read it. We can do more of this, but ultimately it's on each of you to read the essay. He is accessible. Get a tutor, go to the lab and read it there and ask questions, when you get stuck.

The essay was due today. The assignment is posted below. We shared thesis sentences last week. Tomorrow bring in the Initial Planning Sheet. Tomorrow you will develop an outline. Bring your notes and again read Dyson. Bring in music or an artist profile that illustrates your point.

The essay is due Wednesday, Sept. 24. Bring in a paper copy to class. The final draft is due Thursday, Sept. 25 or Sept. 26 by 12 noon. Post the essay and the planning sheet and outline at the assignment link below.

I don't know where to post the descriptive paragraph so I'd post it here:

She was the girl with pink shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans. She was kind of quite in class. The only thing that she wants want to tell others about her is that she is Eritrean. She was born here but her family is from Eritea, a nation in Africa. She could speak Eritrean but she could not read or write in that language. English is the only language that she could read and write. She likes summer because her birthday is in summer. She just graduated from high school. She chose College of Alameda because she had been going to schools in Alameda so she wants to keep going to school in Alameda. The book that took her breath away lately is "Black" by Tracy Brown.
