Don't forget: NO CLASS THIS THURSDAY, 3/4
Some small changes/explanations to the syllabus:
Take Home Expository Prompt due 3/9 (In your syllabus it says TBA): Read at least one newspaper article, paying attention to the style of journalistic writing: straight expository information answering the questions who, what, when, where, and how. Note the "lead" sentence format: who, what, when, where, and how all answered in the first sentence. Write a newspaper article about some event in your life this week or something you witness (I prefer something that just happened rather than something from the past). Give it a headline, lead sentence, etc. One page.
3/9: We will also be discussing "Pronouns" from Sin and Syntax as well as the other two posted essays.
3/16: We will have a class workshopping day for part of this day. Details to follow
3/18: We will discuss the handout "Someone to Read Your Drafts" by Anne Lamott in addition to workshopping. I'll hand out when it gets closer.
