Read: chapter 17 in Everything's an Argument
Write: 2 different pieces, see 1 and 2 below
1) A reflection on your summary
1 page, double-spaced
Think/write through questions like these:
How was it compared to other similar assignments you have done in the past?
What was the hardest part of it? Easiest?
What did you wish you had to assist you that you didn't have?
How would that have helped?
Most importantly: What did you learn about writing in your field?

2) 3 things you think are true about me. For each thing that you think might be true of me, list your evidence underneath it. (Something I said or did or wore or wrote --or didn't do or say or write or wear-- that made you think what you think)
Bring this to class on a piece of paper--don't post it on your blog.
If you want, you don't have to put your name on it, and we'll switch them all around so when you say them in class, I won't know who thought of them. Deal?
Chapter 17 will help with this concept, and we will talk about it in class.
For example: Assumption/conclusion: She's lazy
Evidence: she sits on her desk all the time, and doesn't take the stairs
Oh and by the way, I don't just mean how I am as a teacher, because who we are as people, what we value as people, bleeds through into our professional lives. So, go to town! Have fun! I am SO looking forward to this! And I offer no judgement in return--I just want you to see how much you already do what I'm about to teach you. That's all.
