Professor Sabir's Posse

This morning those students with essays exchanged with each other for peer reviews. Afterwards, students shared favorite aspects of the writing and what worked best. Final drafts are due tomorrow. You are to post the essays and all the planning. We will be back in Dyson tomorrow, so I hope you have continued reading and annotating and keeping a reading log per chapter, which includes vocabulary, arguments, evidence, and other key ideas you felt noteworthy.

For peer review comments see Diana Hacker Rules for Writers' "Planning" (Chapter 1)

Here is a link to a Byron Hurt interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-ZXMIElRmg

I thought you might find it interesting.

Barry mentioned he found the film (56 minute film) at YouTube. Barry, I couldn't find the link; please post it here so students can watch it.

You can have until Wednesday, Sept. 24 to turn in the essay without penalty. No one came to visit me at my office hour. I presume everything is going okay then:-)

We will be in the library on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 8 AM, for an orientation. Meet at the reference desk with Professor Steve Gerstle.
