September 24

We talked over plans for the National Day of Writing, October 20. The tentative plan is for you to prepare something to read (about 5 minutes worth) at Kean University East Campus, during College Hour. For those of you who can't make it then, we may also schedule time in the evening. This is an opportunity for you to make your debut as a writer - and will be in placer of class on October 22. More information to follow later.

You looked over your first assignment (posted at the bottom of this page). You will write two drafts, both of which you will workshop and write some comments about how you would revise; then you will revise one essay for a grade.

For Monday:
Write: Get started on your draft!
Blog 6: Look through the readings so far. Which essay looks like a good pattern for you to use as a model for moving between your concept and your experience. Will using this model allow you to write to the requirements of the assignment (will it give you a focus on concept?) How will you expand on /revise the model? What parts of it do you want to keep the same? Any other comments?

Good class today - and have a great weekend!
