Class 20

Welcome to an Essay 3 “work day.” We’re going to build on the activities and discussions from the previous few weeks in book groups to start preparing to draft the longest essay of your semester in ENG 111. The prompt options are on the Essay 3 assignment sheet, elsewhere on this site.

To get us ready for that peer edit draft (which is due in a week), we’ll move through a number of “stations” today. You’ll start small and get bigger, and sometimes you’ll see the same names. Other times you won’t. The joys of Zoom.

We’ll see how many of these stations we get through today. If we do well, Wednesday can be devoted more fully to drafting and to wrap-up discussion of the books. If it’s taking longer than I’d planned, or the activity bears a repeat, we can have part of Wednesday’s class devoted to it.

As a reminder, your blog posts are not due this week until Wednesday. Please try to get replies to those up by peer edit day, Monday 11/22.

See you in a moment!
