Welcome to CompStreet!

At the end of each class period you will be responsible for posting a response to your homework readings. You may write about any of the following:

*your opinion of the piece
*a specific quote within the text
*how this information changes your perceptions
*the author's motive in writing the piece
*a question you have about the piece
*the significance of the piece

An alternative you will have as the semester goes on will be to blog about different subjects, songs, videos, quotes, or pictures that I post. From time to time I will find thought-provoking items and I want to hear your opinion! Your responses to these items could easily be used to help you write one of the four major essays.

After sharing your thoughts, see what someone else has to say. Feel free to comment on their blog. The most interesting blogs will be featured on my "Write On!" list.

Enjoy and Happy Writing!

1/26/11

I think I've figured out the D2L problem and it should be up and running in a couple days, so I'll upload our "Demon Eye Outline" on there when it's up. I think that would be easier than emailing it out to everyone, and we wouldn't run the chance of losing the outline because it would always be there.

Homework for Friday:
  • If you haven't submitted the comparative analysis, do so now.
  • Read "Setting". It's the opening bit of chapter 4.
  • Read "The Yellow Wallpaper" and blog about the story.

Remember to keep thinking about your paper topics. By Wednesday, I'm expecting a tentative paper topic. You can write on any one or two of the stories we read in class and you can write about anything. Feel free to be creative! Writing should be fun!
