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.
Students new to the class this week will get an extra week to work on this project.
Students new to the class stayed after the others left and we went over the syllabus. Links needed for new students:

Reading Schedule

Next week come to class with an Annotated Works Cited with 10 sources and two pieces of research on your poetry genre.
