ENG 102 MWF 8 a.m.

The instructor told students about various errors that had been made on the latest round of papers. Examples of some of the errors that were discussed were "DNB" (does not belong), AM for a.m., etc.

The instructor returned about half of the last round of papers. Students turned in a new paper.

We talked about the argumentaiton essay. The instructor asked students to think of possible topics on which they would like to argue a point. She noted the difference between this paper and persuasion.

As part of the work we will do on Wednesday, she asked students to read the MLK essay in the argument section. Students are to label what MLK is doing as they read through the essay. They are to use abbreviations and pencil in or write on a separate sheet using the paragrpah numbers.  They are also to read the first section about persuasion in the book (see reading schedule for pages).
