101 Monday, Oct. 1 10 a.m. class

We will spend Monday's class time reviewing papers: descriptive, exemplification, and division/analysis/classification. Please be sure you have your Hacker guide with you as you will be looking up proofreading symbols.

We will be putting many papers into our notebooks, so anyone who can bring an extra three-ring punch, please do so. I will bring one, too.

101 Blog Topic for Friday

This topic is based on "My Circle of Friends" by Jessica Moyer, p. 306.

Who is your "most complete and complex friend?" (307). Write a few paragraphs where you describe the friendship, as Moyer has done in paragraphs 6 and 7.

101 Topics for w/o 9/24

This week's blog topics are:

Write about the pressures you feel as a college student. Do you feel pressure from the four kinds of pressures Zinsser describes (economic, parental, peer, and self-induced)?

Segal classifies excuses from college students in an essay that was written for The Chronicle of Higher Education. How would you identify her tone? (We will discuss tone in class.) If she were to re-write this essay for college students, how might she change her tone?

Re Saunders. Write a character sketch of someone you know who is a "girly-girl" or a "macho man." Using exemplification, show your readers why you've classified this person as such.

Saunders writes about sexuality in a way that makes one realize that the way gender is expressed is highly individual. If one were to take his proposal seriously, how would you feel about having to become more "female" or more "male?" What aspects of yourself would you have to change and how would you do it?

Note: blog links have been updated and corrected.
