We went over the syllabus with the new students. Students who were in class last week spent time figuring out what their topic would be. They later reported this topic to the instructor.
Students who were not in class last week did the writing sample and turned it in.
Students who were in class were excused after the assignment to obtain 5 sources was given. We are attempting to get everyone in the class on the same track.
Assignment for students new to the class:
Read the drama chapter from the links section at right. It's called "How Drama Works." You may also access it from this link.
Get your book by ordering online or going to the bookstore.
Sign up for writershelp.
Look over research paper topics. Most of the ones listed here are taken, but you may write the instructor to check for sure. You may also come up with your own research paper topic, but it has to be approved by the instructor. Do not spend time researching until your topic is approved.
Assignment for students who were in the first class:
Obtain the five sources (everything but the scholarly journals).
