Week at a glance September 30 - October 4, 2013

As the saying goes, we are definitely "in the thick of it."  Students should be in the process of revising Major Essay 1, due Friday.  Students should also be in the process of shaping and creating Minor Essay 2a, due Thursday night to the online site turnitin.com.  If that weren't enough, we'll discuss a new assignment this week, Minor Essay 2b, and challenge ourselves with a brief cause/effect essay.  Depending upon the results of the first two minor essays, students may actually have one less essay to write.  We will discuss this possibility in class.

• Mon: Discuss results of Major Essay 1 rough draft.  Read and discuss Schlosser 
• Tues: Assign and discuss Minor Essay 2b, due Wednesday, Oct 9.  For Wednesday, read and be prepared to write about Gladwell 411 - 421.
• Wed: In-class response on Gladwell due by the end of the hour.  Continue to shape and create Minor Essay 2a.
• Thurs: Bring in pre-writing and notes for Minor Essay 2a.  Minor Essay 2a due by 11:59:59 to turnitin.com.
• Fri: Major Essay 1 final draft packet due.  Minor Essay 2a pre-writing and notes due.  Discuss results of both essays.  Shape and develop Minor Essay 2b.
