We wrote a contrast to the previous long-sentence exercise from Lukeman. We attempted to recreate fear from a past experience. Two student examples were viewed on the overhead projector. In one, the student had some long sentences so she is going to re-write and we will look at it at our next class session.
The instructor handed out the poetry assignment. Poetry presentation dates are March 18 and 20. Students are to read the genres and on Thursday we will assign a genre to each student and put it on a table. Students are encouraged to use Powerpoint for their presentation.
The instructor returned the research paper point 2. Students spent a little time examining the errors and looking them up in Hacker. After that, the instructor went over some common errors. She showed the class how to do internal citations and discussed how the student will add his/her "voice" to the topic matter.
Students now proceed to Point 3, which is due after spring break on Thursday, March 13.
