Wednesday, November 5

Today you checked out what your classmates are writing about and did some thinking about how you are going to turn your ideas into an essay. You all sound like you are writing into some good ideas - and I am looking forward to another set of exciting drafts.

For Monday:
Finish Draft 3 => date extended, now due Nov 12.

Blog 15: list some places that have been important in your life - if possible - go to one of them and write in your writing journal about what you see => use this writing to create a blog entry. [For those of you who cannot go to a place from your past - you may use the alternatives discussed in class.]

Read: McPhee “The Search for Marvin Gardens” (check your email)

In class we will take a close look at how John McPhee develops his discussion of playing Monopoly and Atlantic City as a way to make his point. As you read - watch how he develops his concept.

Great class today and I will see you on Monday.
