We completed all of the pages in the text through CSS, which was tables, cellspan, borders, etc. We found a couple possible errors in the text.
We decided to have our second make-up class on March 26 for a couple reasons. One is to give the instructor time over break to make up an exercise. The other is to give people a Saturday in between to get things done.

Friday, March 4, 2010
We worked on the full-sentence outline, doing the general and specific purposes and also the three main points of the body of the speech. In addition, we worked on writing the thesis statement.
As part of learning how to write the thesis statement, we went through some questions which required us to choose the best thesis statement of two that were presented.
After this, the instructor asked students to put their thesis statements on the overhead document cam. We evaluated them and in some cases added material to the thesis statement.
Next the instructor presented an exercise which involved exploring the self-fulfilling prophecy. Students were asked to list expectations (see links below). The expectations were entered anonymously and after we went over the section in the book, we viewed what various expectations were, such as expectations of us as friends or expectations of us males or females.
We also viewed and critiqued three sample speeches. Viewing the speeches helped us spot pitfalls, such as speaking in a monotone or not dressing appropriately for the speech. The speeches showed us the value of gestures or speaking about something of which one has personal knowledge (science fiction speech).
Complete informative speech full-sentence outline with in-text citations and Annotated Works Cited. Hand in at next class.
"I Am" paper is due
