Assignments due Wednesday, 15 October

1. Print out and read Peter Elbow's "Writing for Teachers." I will email a pdf as an attachment. There will be a short in class writing on Elbow Wednesday.
2. Building on the prewriting your have done and the exercise on creating claims and finding evidence we did today in class, produce a draft of the section of your reflective essay which will deal with what you have learned. Compose this draft using google docs.
3. Do a prewriting exercise in which you discover what you can say about your performance in the class to date and how you can improve it over the remainder of the semester.
4. Write a paragraph in which you let me know how I can better structure class to help you learn. Compose using google docs.
5. Create your two rhetorical analysis for the week using google docs, and share them with me and with the rest of your group.

Bring all this with you on Wednesday to class.

Remember, I will hold conference hours in my office on Parham Road campus from 7:30-9:30 on Monday, 13 October. During these conference hours, you can stop by to discuss your performance in the class, go over an individual paper, get me to look at a draft of your reflective paper, etc. These conference hours are voluntary, but--in the past--I have found them an important element of student learning.
