Recap on Saturday, February 8 Meeting
This Saturday we completed various exercises in They Say, I Say using the text and themes from Rubin's THP January-March for content.
The one writing assignment was collaborative. Students completed exercise 1 (14). The replacement word was "happiness." The content varied as each set of students were assigned one of the three chapters.
In the concluding time in class we looked at They Say, chapter 1 (23-28) and students chose three moves and found an example of each in Rubin's THP. We then shared with analysis.
We do not meet on Saturday. The campus is closed for the Presidents' Day Holiday weekend, Friday, Feb. 14-Monday, Feb. 17.
I gave students handouts for Writing a Reading Log. For this book students will keep a chapter by chapter reading log.
Homework this week and next week will be taken from THP, They Say and 50 Essays. I will divide the homework into two separate weeks. I hope this lessens confusion.
Reading homework: Read up to August in THP. Of course you can finish the book if you like.
Recap on assignments:
Students have all written an essay response to the American Way article. Some students emailed their essays to me last Wednesday. Some students handed them into me the week before. Many students did not get feedback from their peers on the essays. It is important that you respond in writing to your classmates who are in your peer writing circle. It is a time sensitive writing circle.
I will get back to you with comments and a grade within the week.
Over the past two weeks we have had several cyber-assignments: a freewrite on Language, an extra credit
assignment on the President's recent State of the Union Address, How to Mark a Book, and Ann Lamott's Shitty First Drafts and the more recent They Say Assignment. There was also the Syllabus response. I hope you are keeping up.
For this week students will read and respond to two essays from 50 Essays, complete six exercises in They Say.
Week 2: Students will continue with They Say, Chapters 3-4, and corresponding exercises (all). In 50 Essays students will read and respond to two more essays. Some of the They Say essays will reference readings in Rubin's THP and Cohen's 50 Essays.
Each week there will be a Happiness Project prompt freewrite to respond to. After you post, respond to at least 2-3 classmates.
