Friday
We worked on narration and descriptive writing. The instructor asked students to recount some of their research. She asked them to retell it in first person ("I") and through narration and descriptive writing. For example, the narrative might start off by telling how the student found a place to live. The descriptive part would describe the place the student rented.
We did an exercise with descriptive writing in class.
For next class: two pages of writing based on the research. Must be written in narrative form with descriptive detail added. See Ch. 6 for additional material on this type of writing.
Wednesday
We went to the computer lab and the instructor showed students the Writer's Help site.
Assignment for Friday:
Work on research for expatriate essay. Print out what you have. I will ask to see it.
Read and do exercises from text: 6th edition, p. 107-23; 5th edition, p. 125-140, 146-47
