Hi Everyone,

For Thursday, please:

1) Write (handwritten or typed) and bring to class a very rough version of your essay to share with a partner. I want you to write whatever you possibly can between now and then. Perhaps you will just write an outline or an opening paragraph. Perhaps you will have more. Do whatever you can and bring it on Thursday.

2) Find your favorite book or your favorite piece of writing you’ve read recently and copy (handwritten or typed) the opening paragraph. We’re going to talk about opening paragraphs on Thursday and there is no better way to start this discussion than by looking at great examples.

That’s it. No other readings. See you on Thursday.
