Sentence Counter Argument

Just a reminder that the sentence counterargument exercise that we started in class is available on the blog (to the right). You do not need to write down the sentences on the assignment sheet, but just indicate by a, b, c, etc. which one you are working with. Any questions? Email me.

Glad to see people responding to questions

Responses to questions look good. Keep it up. Try to explain why you think a certain way and give examples if you can. Remember, responses should be several sentences in length.

Blogging for Thursday

So far, the blogging looks great. Keep it up.  Before Thursday's class, please be sure to answer 3 of your fellow students questions fully. You can get extra credit too. For every well thought out response over the assigned three responses, you can get extra credit (3 possible points per response, up to 9 points).

Confused? Forget how to post? Please be sure to email me.

MLA Citation

Any works you cite in your writing should be cited using MLA citation style.
