Today we reviewed Deduction and Induction (Chapter 8, WLTC). We completed exercises as a class and in groups. Homework is to skim the chapter and read, Mechanics Logic. The questions will be answered in a freewrite.
We will meet in A-232. It is a larger room on Thursdays (smile).
Homework is to read up to page 54 or so in Mosely's book, Tempest Tales. We will get together and talk about arguments and the text in Literature Circles at the enxt meeting.
Students were given student essays to read, comment and grade. Email me your comments and grade. Put the student's name and the type of essay graded in the subject line: Wanda Sabir's Student Graded Classical Essay Spring 2012 or something like this.
On Thursday, we will read more essays and Tuesday the balance. Students will have an opportunity to address comments in revisions if necessary.
Next week we will start the Toulmin essay. Email me at: coasabirenglish5@gmail.com Quite a few students have not turned in their Classical Arguments. Get them in. If you miss this opportunity to get the essay graded by peers, you might not be able to revise it.
I will also read the essays after looking at peer comments. I also want students to comment on the comments and how that affects your revision or composition strategy heretofore. Comment on the helpfulness of this process.
