Today in the morning class some students started the freewrite on an article, others completed the assignments and posted it below. If you didn't finish, it is homework. Post it where the assignment is.
I passed out assignment sheets for the readings and assignments for the rest of the semester. It is also pasted below at another link.
In both classes today we met in a classroom with technology. We will meet in A-232 each Thursday for the remainder of the semester and for the afternoon class, I am not sure yet where we will meet next week so meet me at A-202.
The afternoon class has an opportunity to review the sections in SPHE on paraphrasing. We went over the review boxes from pages 339 to 341, and completed exercises on pages 342-343. Students are to continue working on these exercises (see assignment sheet).
We also reviewed the "Reviews" on pages 2-8, then skipped to Sentence Punctuation, but only two students had completed the extercises so we left that for next week. Complete all the exercises up to page 30 for Tuesday.
Homework recap:
continue completing exercises in Pidd up to Essay 1 (page 30). Read chapter 1 in Dyson: "Dear Mama." Write a reading log on the chapter noting key ideas, questions and a vocabulary log.
Cyber-Assignment Homework
Select two topic sentences from the introduction, beginning on page two and write a literal paraphrase. Write the original as well, so we can see what you did.
Remember: a literal paraphrase is where you keep the sentence structure and you change the words with words or phrases that mean the same thing. One has to retain the intent of the writer.
