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!

2/9/11

Today we had some exciting news! Extra credit opportunities and cheat sheets, oh my! If you were absent today, make sure you get your cheat sheet on Friday.

We also learned about MLA. Sorry that was so boring, but it had to be done. But it's over with! Yay! I will put the PPT up on D2L tomorrow, after I've gone through it to fix the changes. Note to self: don't make teaching materials at two o'clock in the morning.

Lastly, our first exam is on Monday. Friday, we will review grammar and have our peer review. Make sure to bring a print copy of your essay to class. You will need it for your peer review partner.

See you all on Friday!
