March 16, 2010

Thank you Richard Brown, Tiffany Smith, Andra Jones and Richard Martinez for being brave enough to let the class workshop their papers! Thank you!!!

As promised, here is a link to Martin Luther King Jr. "I Have a Dream" speech from August, 1963: click here

One more day until spring break! You can do it!

Extra Credit:
For one point extra credit: Rent the movie Dead Poets Society and watch it. Write up a one-page response comparing that movie to the essay "I Just Want to Be Average" by Mike Rose. All extra credit due to me by April 29th.

Rough Drafts of your Expository Essays are due Thursday, 3/18 with four copies for workshopping.

Journal #16: Instructions to your Body Double

Okay, imagine you are going out of town for Spring Break. Imagine that you have hired a "body double" to live your life for you while you will be out of town. Write an instructional note to your body double explaining information they might need to know about being "you" for a week (how to deal with mother-in-law, how to avoid ex's phone calls, how to discipline the children, etc.) Write for 10 minutes.
