Week 5

Today we will review the work you submitted last week and I'll provide some time for  you to look over the kinds of mistakes you have made (if any) and then we'll start drafting essay 4.  We'll do some exercises too.  There will be no midterm today.

Essay:  (#4)  Summary/Response and Quotation Work:  Read the  photocopied chapters from P.M. Forni's book Choosing Civility, which take the form of both process (intructional) and cause/effect analysis.  Respond in summary form to several  of the ideas, enough to give a clear sense of one chapter focus and to give a sufficient and interesting review of his major points and means of support or illustration.   Relate experience of your own or provide commentary to  "talk to" the points he makes and your imagined audience.  Quote several line(s) or parts of lines that convey his ideas particularly well.  Punctuate them as direct quotations and see that they “fit” grammatically in the sentence and paragraph in which you have placed them or set them off.  Bring the responses to class.
