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!

'Twas peer review day!

A reminder for future peer reviews. Here are some things you should look for in your partner's paper:

  • Introduction
  • Thesis
  • Transitions
  • Sources
  • Topic Sentences
  • Organization
  • Conclusion
  • Is there anything that shouldn't be there that is?
  • Is there anything that should be there that isn't?
  • Does the paper analyze something? Does it go beyond a summary?

Don't forget, our first exam is on Monday! I know you're all super excited ;-)
