M/W/F For Monday-NO TRADITIONAL CLASS ON FRIDAY

Hello all,

Today, we covered a lot of ground; we began the discussion with what makes a good paragraph. Nice attempt, for the most part; however, I will have to bring in "Dr. Fiore" for a discussion on Monday. You may want to explore a bit on the internet and in your Hacker text about paragraphs, and how they function in a paper.

Next, we went over the project one revisions and then we began project two. We discussed the parameters of Project Two. The Overview is located on the blog under Project Two Overview for Oct. 1. We started to get the creativity flowing. Remember, at this point, you are not limiting your ideas; instead you are creating opportunities for inquiry and exploration.

I discussed my writing for my conference presentation this weekend, which is the reason why you are having a drafting day on Thursday. I will bring back pictures of the "misfit" from O'Conner's house.

Read-Kafka Book I
