We went through the syllabus and the instructor showed students this blog. In addition, we discussed the books and web sites needed for this class. She asked students to order the materials today.
We decided there will be a regular five-minute break at 4:30-35.
We did some MLA Works Cited exercises at writershelp. We did three questions and will pick up on this exercise at a future class.

Think of a topic you would like to research for your research paper. Please review "topics lists" in the links section of the instructor's blog.
At next class we will do a writing sample and if we have time we will do paired introductions
