It's a cold and wet winter day.
Have you done a Chat Lounge report yet this semester? Have you met anyone new in the Chat Lounge? Please "write it up" and hand it in to me if you have. You can also get the same extra credit by writing blog posts using a PC or even from an iPhone or regular cell-phone. (I think it's very slow to type on a cellphone, though.)
Today I am picking up your homework, a Cause-and-Effect Essay. You have been writing it for two weeks. Last week, you should have got some help editing it and some time to work on it in class. Please hand in this second draft.
I am also returning a first draft or rough draft of the Compare-and-Contrast essay project. As you should recall, we began with brainstorming and choosing something (two things, usually) to compare, and then making a table or chart (probably in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Writer). Some people then developed the table into a paragraph. The next step is to develop it into an essay. (Some people developed the table directly into an essay already, so they are working on their second draft of the essay. That's great.) Please keep these documents together, as I will evaluate the whole project and process of your writing. Today I am meeting with you individually and giving you an editing sheet. You can find a pdf of the editing sheet in the folder at My Computer, Network Drive, Lecture (L:) or L:\brinkman
For next week, December 18, please develop the the Compare-and-Contrast essay into your second draft and be prepared to hand it in together with the table and other documents that belong to that writing project.
