ENG 102 Sat.9-12:15

Reading Guide Questions

We worked on a reading guide using the poetry reading from the links section.

The instructor handed out a reading guide for the drama links, both of which are in the links section at the right.

We had two poetry roundtables.

The instructor passed out a plagiarism checklist and we went over it. Students initialed it where appropriate and attached it to their research paper, the final of which was turned in today.

To Do for Next Class:

Do the drama reading guide and turn it in at the next class.

ENG 102 Saturday 9-12:15 a.m.

Students turned in one page of their Shakespeare paper.

We had three poetry roundtables:  Clercified, whose roundtable was on "Ai (Anthony Florence)," who wrote dramatic monologue, Zieronda, on Blues Poetry and Langston Hughes, and Nadia, whose roundtable was on cinquain and Crapsey.

We went to the lab to work on transitions and subheads for the three points of the research paper. The instructor distributed a handout and explained transitions. We first wrote transitions between the three points and then we went back and wrote transitions into the paragraphs. All transitions were highlighted and the three points were given to the instructor at the conclusion of class.

Next week in class the instructor will return the three points. We will write the introduction and conclusion in class. Some students may have to write a "definitions" section. This will be determined when the instructor reads this week's papers.

To Do for Next Week:

Gloria and Ada will give their poetry roundtables.

Read pages 121-27 in Lester. This covers introductions and conclusions. We will write the intro and conclusion in class.

The Shakespeare papers will be returned and students will have an idea where to take their paper for its final revision.

Conflict Resolution Problem

Instructions:  write an answer and post it to the column.

I've been seeing someone for about two months. He still talks with his ex-girlfriend's best friend, Mida, and I haven't really thought much about this relationship...until the other day.

I dropped in,unannounced, and he was on the phone with Mida.  They talked for about 20 minutes while I was there, but I'm not sure what they talked about, because he went outside to talk soon after I arrived.

When he came back inside, he said nothing specific about their conversation. He just started cooking dinner and watching TV. I pretended as though this didn't bother me, but over the poast few days it has been really eating at me. Am I doing the right thing by not making a big deal out of this? What should I do?

ENG 102 Wednesday, 2:30-5:15

The instructor handed back the Shakespeare papers with comments. The next step on this paper is to revise, correct, add internal text citations, and a Works Cited. The Works Cited should have references from the literary databases.

Alicia presented her roundtable on Robert Lowell's "Man and Wife."

Next we worked on research papers. The instructor showed students the purpose of subheads. Students then wrote their subheads into the paper. She handed out a worksheet on transitions. We went through what the purpose of transitions is. Students then wrote the transitions in by hand.

We then went to the lab where each student added their transitions and subheads to their digital copy.  All transitions and subheads were highlighted. The instructor will read the papers this week and return them next week. In the next class, we will write the introduction and conclusion. Some papers may call for a definitions section. If that is the case, students will write that section of the paper, which appears between the introduction and the first point of the body of the paper.

To Do for Next Class:

Write final version of Shakespeare paper
Do "mechanics" section at writershelp.
Do "punctuation" at writershelp (only do the two on quotation marks)

We had three poetry roundtables: Johnny, Marcia, and Ismel. Nadia and Clercifie were supposed to go but we ran out of time, so she will go at the next class, in addition to Gloria and Zieronda. Also Cathy.

The instructor went over writing topics for Shakespeare.  One page is due at the next class.
 No Fear Shakespeare link for reading about your topic with Shakespearean English and modern English side-by-side.

We discussed the research paper and students are to turn in point 3 at our next class, which will be in two weeks on April 14. At that class, we will have a workshop on transitions, where we will put the three parts together. The difference between a workshop and a regular class is that it will be hands-on in the computer lab. The instructor will show students how to use transitions in the computer lab. Students will then put the transitions into the paper and the instructor will go around to each workstation and help students.

In addition, we will put in subtitles.

Also assigned was the "mechanics" section of writershelp.
