In subsequent classes we didn't get to They Say in the 11-11:50 a.m. class, but two students were able to have a literature discussion. I am not certain if they completed the discussion. If not, I will leave time for a continuation tomorrow.
Most of the class was spent reading. Other students who missed the MCE 1, completed it in the 11-11:50 a.m. class.
Students had not completed the reading in 50 Essays or They Say in some classes. If you do not have your books yet, this is not a reason to fall behind. The books are in the library, and I am also around and I have the books too.
We have a lot to do tomorrow (smile). We will talk about How to Tame a Wild Tongue and perhaps On Being a Cripple. In the 11-11:50 a.m. class, the homework was to bring in a response to the questions at the end of the chapter. We will talk about thesis sentences, organization, supporting evidence and what are some of the elements of a strong thesis or argument.
We will look at conclusions and organization and the thinking behind the author's choices and whether or not you think it was a good choice (smile). We will also consider alternatives.
Read the section in They Say. We will complete Exercise 1-2 in class in groups in the 11-11:50 English section.
There is so much to talk about. I am going to skip the comparative essay I mention in the syllabus. I think students have written enough now to know where they stand and what they need to improve on. If you are unclear, let me know and we can talk more about it.
We will look more at MLA for intext citations beginning next week. I have exercises we will complete as well as short three paragraph essays taking their topics from the essays in 50 Essays.
Each of these practice writings will use: 1 free paraphrase, 1 direct quote and 1 block quote. This will often be tied to an exercise in They Say. I expect the students writing to improve. Watch your errors, in fact list them, and do not repeat them. If you do not know where the correction is referenced in Hacker, make certain you talk to me to get clarity.
Pidd Workshops continue tomorrow
I hope students come to the Pidd Writing Workshops on Thursday. Last week, only one students showed up, and not for that (smile). I am making myself available for two hours on Thursday for a month: 12:30-2 p.m. in A-205. Take advantage of this to get ahead.
