Assignments out of Thursday, March 24 for March 29

Today we entered with both the Fish and Bell books, took a grammar quiz, filled out a form that identified our major projects' status and orientation, used google docs to summarize this information, went over the quiz, listened to a short lecture on sentence structure, and received several assignments.

The assignments for Tuesday next (March 29) as follows:

>bring the Fish and Bell and Johnson books<

1) Annotate and finish Johnson.  Write a one-page paper from that book that explains how his ideas connect to writing. One page sounds easy. I think it is not.  We will be discussing and finishing the book in class.

2) Read chapter 4 of Fish, annotate it, and find in your reading, from whatever source, four sentences that you feel are what Fish would call "good."  Bring those four sentences, typed clearly, to class on a single sheet of paper, assuming they will fit.  You will be expected to explain why they are "good," using Fish's criteria.

3) Bring the grammar test completed.  We will go over the sentences in class.  The test can be found here for you to print out and bring to class completed.  You are not to restructure the sentences, but merely fix the punctuation.  

5) Ten additional pages of your your major project (2,500 words) will be due in finished draft form on April 5.  We discussed how to break some of these unwieldy and ambitious projects into manageable sections.  

6) Scholar's Day is April 15

7) Transition has been fully funded.
