Writing 102 What Happened in Class

Thursday, Oct. 2

We entered student research paper topics on the spreadsheet. Link is at left.

We finished the Ancient Greek Theater portion of the drama unit. This covered the Greek gods. The instructor also talked about Carl Jung and archetypes. These two questions are on the midterm exam about drama.

For next class (Oct. 9):

Meet at the lab. Read Lester, Ch. 6. Read Lukeman, Ch. 2, "Commas."

Find sources for your research paper topic. By October 14, you should have at least five sources to work with in class. The instructor will show how to make a bibliography page of the sources.

If you have not yet read Medea, do so. Link to the database where you can read it is below in this post.


Tuesday, Sept. 30

We worked with Lukeman in writing long sentences. The instructor showed ways to write a grammatically correct long sentence using semicolon, dash, parentheses, commas, and other punctuation marks.

We viewed a few student paragraphs on the overhead.

Next the instructor talked about ancient Greek theater.

Next class: Notebook check-in. Read Medea, found at the Lion literary database at the UCC library. Have your long paragraph with you at the next class. Instructor will record research paper topics at the Thursday class.
