English 201: Reminders from Class on October 27

October 27, 2009 Mrs. Olson Leave a comment

Before you come to class on Thursday, October 29, make sure that you’ve completed these tasks:

  1. Complete the short writing assignment about the example student essays.  (Wherein you determine which essay is a value project and which essay is a policy project and explain how you could determine which is which.)  I’ll collect this on Thursday for a quiz grade.
  2. Finish up the pre-writing assignment.  (You make a list of the claims you’ll need for your argument.)  Save this work because we’ll expand on it in class on Thursday.
  3. Catch up with all the reading for the unit.  We’re low on quiz grades, so you should expect a quiz about the readings on Thursday.

All of this information is available on the PowerPoint from today’s class as well as the reading and assignment schedule.

Thanks for you hard work.  If you have any questions, email me at Adair.Olson@BHSU.edu.

Remember, all of those writing assignments that I assign in class and that are on your reading an assignment schedule could become homework grades at the end of each unit; further, you’ll be using these assignments to develop your papers.  Head over to the Documents and Handouts page to be sure that you have all of these materials.

M/W/F Students: For the Last Day o’Class

April 30, 2009 Mrs. Olson Leave a comment

Bring all of your drafts from this unit to class, I’ll collect one for a homework grade.

Complete the short writing assignment about your re-writing processes.

Throughout the semester, I have devoted a large amount of class time to re-writing.  We’ve talked about common grammar errors, and we’ve discussed different activities that might help you prepare a final draft.  Those goal was to make you a more confident editor of your own prose.

In about 5-7 pars., respond to the following questions: (1) What, perennially, have been the “problem” areas in your drafts?  (2) Why do you think that these are the areas that are problematic? (3) What are two specific things you can do in the future to revise and edit these problems from your writing?
