101 and 102 Grades Link

Students in 101 may now view grades at the link below. A few of the grades might be revised as I finish reading "freebie" papers.

All grades were calculated mathematically based on the points you received for your papers, notebook score, class attendance, etc.

Students in 102: Twenty-two grades have been submitted and are at the link above. I am awaiting one "freebie" late paper and then all grades will have been submitted.

Fill in this worksheet on your computer. Print out two copies: one to work from, one for me to assist you during the work session.

102 A Poem with Hyphens

Davie, Donald: Hyphens
[from Collected Poems (1990), Carcanet]

1 You remember Rossignano
2 Solvay, impossible hybrid,
3 Italian-Belgian? The hyphen
4 Was stretched to breaking.
...

21 There too the hyphen stretched
22 In him to breaking, out of
23 Maremman cities where his Fiat spun
24 In week-end pieties
...

29 Holding these halves together,
30 His Tuscan strove
31 For a coining of new compounds:
32 Firm-transient, chemical-civic.

Here's a link to Monroe's Motivated Sequence.

101 Computer Lab Booked

I was successful in getting a computer lab at the library for our cause/consequences writing session. We will meet at the library computer labs downstairs on Friday.

Be sure to do the readings on cause/consequences in the Glenn book.

Writing 102

On Dec. 3, you will be receiving your Point 2 and we will be knitting it together with transitions in our "Workshop on Transitions." You will need both Point 1 and Point 2 for tomorrow's class. Also, please have the Lester book on research with you.

As I said in class Friday, we will be working with Lukeman. At least have the section on hyphens and dashes read. I will be handing out a worksheet on the use of this punctuation mark.
