Today in the early class we talked about the qualities of good writing. Homework was to use the Global Revision handout, which is from Hacker, to reflect on your in-class essays. Students are to complete an Initial Planning Sheet from the completed essay. We will talk more about this tomorrow.

In the second class, students shared their Adler essays, reviewed the questions together and then worked on the Writing with a Thesis package. On the exercises where students were to identify whether or not the prompt was a "good" thesis or not, if the group decided it was "not a good thesis," they had to craft a recommendation that was. We will share these tomorrow.
We covered pages 14-19--up to the letter of complaint.

Homework is to complete the assignments on the syllabus. Bring your books to class tomorrow--Guy and Shakur, oh and Hacker. The dictionary is also needed at each class.
