Hi Everyone,
Hope you're enjoying the snow day. Because we missed class today, we are going directly into the rough drafts for Monday. So the assignment for Monday is still to write the first draft of your "cyber-autobiography." You need to make sure that you have a minimum of three quotes from any of the four essays we read for this project. You may have more than that, and I really encourage you to do so, in order that you can begin to develop the skill of "conversing" with another person's ideas via your and their writing. You can use any number of the essays -- all your quotes can come from one, or you can quote from several, or all of them. You need to use MLA format for citations.
Remember too that at this point, your drafts can be handwritten or typed. You must bring a physical copy to class, as we will be using them for workshops/peer critiques.
The assignment for today will not be required, though I still recommend it, especially if you want to practice identifying claims.
