Writing 102 Saturday What Happened in Class

We exchanged research papers and the instructor asked each person to check certain items such as margins, headings, internal text citations, etc. After this review, each student read and scored the paper according to a sheet handed out by the instructor. Students then conferred with each other on the paper remarks.

The instructor showed students a research paper assignment from another instructor. She pointed out how the instructor for this assignment stressed following the same style formatting that is being taught in this class.

Fernanda conducted her poetry roundtable on William Blake's "London," (abecedarian).

Jerson started his on Dante but we ran out of time.

Next class:

Next week is Thanksgiving, so students have two weeks to make revisions to the paper.

For students doing their poem, a general order of presentation is:

• read poet genre/background paper

• read poem or listen to mp3

• read explication paper

Be sure that you provide a copy of each of the above for each student. The instructor will have copies made for you if you need them.
