The Week Ahead

Today in class we reviewed Topical Invention and read the essay, "What Happiness Is." Students shared the articles they found on the library databases. Others shared books they were thinking about for their book report essay (Essay 2).

We spent some time outlining the Eduardo Porter essay and then summarizing it. Students then were given time to work on the essay due next week.

Bring in your "Happiness" essay with outline and Initial Planning Sheet electronically so you can share with your group in Google Drive.

Don't forget Splendid Truth 3 for your on-line discussions. Make sure you have responded to everyone. If there has been no communication, send a recap as an introduction and background.

Watch the videos from last week, if you have not and cite two articles and write a summary for one of them. Also bring your notes on Rubin's book electronically as well.

I forgot to give students who were absent last week the other handouts from Models for Writers. Ask me for them.

I also forgot to review the Writing with a Thesis package. We will complete that as well next week.
