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.

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:

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

Friday:

We were supposed to give our introductions today, but too many people had written out paragraphs instead of a key word outline. Students are writing their outlines over the weekend and we will do the introductions at the next class.

Instead, today we discussed and did an exercise with "I-thou" and "I-it."

Students wrote out answers to questions and the instructor will read them and select some for discussion next week.

On Monday we are doing the introductions.
