Tuesday, in class, we will be talking about oral presentations (and your final portfolios). To celebrate this, please submit a comment here with a link to a video (on youtube, hulu, and so forth) that has something to do with what we’ve learned in class or about your research topic. See you then!

Because of the impending blizzard and because I’d rather have you all be safe, I am canceling class for tonight. That means that you need to bring your peer review sheets, printed sources, and cover letters with you next Tuesday (or you can still drop them in the box outside the English Department). Those who [...]

I am meeting with students one-on-one for this day. Those students need to print out and bring the Personal Research Narrative with them. Everyone needs to submit the papers for the Researched Argument assignment. This includes the cover letter (make sure to sign it), peer review sheets, and any printed sources. If you are turning [...]

Oops. Forgot to post this yesterday. Sorry about that.

BE [...]

Just a quick reminder that we will not be meeting tomorrow (November 11th). Instead, use the time to work on drafting your Researched Argument Paper.

We’re getting down to the end! Hurray! For Tuesday, make sure you do the following: Read chapter 9 in Green and Lidinsky. Have the draft of your introduction ready. This should be about a page to a page and a half. It starts with your hook and ends with your thesis statement. You’ll email this [...]

For Thursday’s class, make sure to bring a printed version of your working thesis (or several working thesis statements). You also need to bring 2 examples of visuals: graphic, illustration, table, bullet list, icon, and so forth. They can be from any source and for any thing. Also, the reading is chapter 8 from Green [...]

UPDATED: Please note that I changed the page names to make it more obvious where things are. All the class handouts are in “2020 Handouts”. Any links to extra information are in “2020 Links”. So, the teacher review sheet is in “2020 Handouts”. For Tuesday, do the following: Read Green and Lidinsky chapter 5 Read [...]
