Baseline Essay Preparation

Today I introduced "the gradesheet," an on-going record of assignments you have completed and points you have received in this class. Maintaining your gradesheet is not only your way of keeping track, but it is also your way of communicating with me about any potential discrepancies with my gradebook.

In addition, we had our second fishbowl discussion; everyone has played the "fish" and "researcher" roles.

Due 9/16

Homework: Prepare for tomorrow's baseline essay. You may use your two informal responses to the prompts, your copy of Enrique's Journey, and a prepared thesis and topic sentences. When I collect your essays, I will also collect these items (except for the book, of course!).
