Self presentation goals (p. 24):  Goals of showing yourself to others (through interpersonal communication) about how you wish to be perceived.  Example:  a person stifles frustration in order to be seen as cooperative.

Instrumental goals: Practical goals you want to achieve or tasks you want to accomplish through a particular interpersonal encounter, such as obtaining directions or asking about ingredients in a recipe

Relationship goals:  Goals of building, maintaining, or destroying relationship with others through interpersonal communication, such as when a person compliments another on his or her choice in music in order to encourage attention from the other person.

Each student in class evaluated a recent conversation according to the above communication goals. We discussed some in class, and students turned in their papers for 25 class participation points. The exercise cannot be made up.

ENG102 Sat., 9-12:15

We found the bookstore failed to order the books and access cards for our class, probably due to the fact that the employee the instructor ordered them from is no longer with the company.  The instructor went to the bookstore and found another employee who is willing to get the materials for the class.
The new orders should take place this week.

We worked on topics today. Students submitted areas of interest and using the book, we took the topic to the area of academic subject. The instructor assigned students the job of obtaining 10 sources from the academic databases and the internet. They are to be formatted in MLA style next week.

In addition, we chose poetry genres and put them on a chart.  See link at right.

We were unable to work with writershelp today because of the bookstore problem.
