Today, we will meet on zoom and sign up for mandatory office hours. These meetings will give us a chance to workshop your writing one-on-one, concentrating on the paragraph you submit on bcourses. I will also give you updates on how the course will continue over the next few weeks.
After this meeting, use our classtime to work on the homework, listed below:
Homework:
- OPTIONAL: Read the excerpt from Valeria Luiselli’s Tell Me How It Ends in the reader. (We will not be discussing this reading together, but it might interest many of you!)
- Compile the thesis, paragraphs, and other material you have been drafting as part of our analytical essay assignments into a rough draft and submit on bcourses. Write one brief paragraph at the end, reflecting on what steps you would take next to work towards a polished first draft.
