Catching up
Remember, today is my long day. I will be around until 3 p.m. (12 noon to 3 p.m.) in the Writing Center (L-234). Come by, no appointment is necessary. The phone number there is (510) 748-2132.
Yesterday in class students continued their work on Essay 1. Many had not completed the exercises in the book or understood that the essay is a recap of the errors, plus the intro, which is the answers to the questions, the conclusion and the creative title.
Students spent class time, in the afternoon class, writing the essay. In the morning class, we read the essay aloud and then reviewed exercises in Coach T, (next chapter). Homework is to complete the next chapter, type the essay and bring to class for a peer review Monday, Feb. 23.
We practiced writing a Reading Log for Chapter 1 in Dreams from My Father. Students should be up to Chapter 6. Keep reading.
I put one copy of Pidd on reserve in the library and another copy on reserve on the bookshelf in the Writing Center (L-234) ask for it and do your assignments at the college if you do not have materials.
