Cyber-Assignment 1 from SPHE

Today in class we read the first 31 pages of the book Yummy: the Last Days of a Southside Shorty. Students traded off as different voices for a theatrical reading. In groups, students developed character profiles.

Post those profiles here. Don't forget to use a heading which includes all the student names from the group. The assignment date is today.

We also reviewed the Paraphrasing & Plaigarizing exercises. Students are to continue completing the exercises and post the response to the Literal Paraphrase on page 344 where students are instructed to "Write a sentence containing three examples of slang and then translate it into a literal paraphrase using formal language."

Post the two sentences on here. Another link will be for the homework connected to the article on Hamster thinking.

We summarized the chapter in Cisneros called "My Name." There were quite a few new students. Read the blog beginning with my letter to students dated, January 22, 2012, and then read forward. Respond to the syllabus on the blog and send me an email introduction of yourself.

I am not giving permission numbers to students who do not have books. Most of the students today are in that category, but they are registered. I don't need more students who are unprepared.

Keep going in Pidd. Complete the exercises in the beginning in the section: Confused Words then keep going to Sentence Punctuation. We will review this on Wednesday. My Pidd Bootcamp started today and continues for six weeks MW, 10:30-11:30 AM at my office D-219.

Summary:

"My Name," which is the fourth chapter in S. Cisneros's book, House on Mango Street introduces the character Ezperanza. This character was named after her great-grandmother. In English her name means "hope." She doesn't like her name because people cannot pronounce it. Ezperanza says she'd "like to baptize [herself] under a new name, a name more like the real [her], the one nobody see . . ." (11).

I hadn't realized that there is a 25th anniversary edition of Hse. out. In the book there is an interview or new forward by Cisneros. If you have this edition, please make me a copy of the introduction. I do not have this book. Mine is an earlier edition.
