Tuesday, September 22

8 am, 10:15, and 11:25

Hi all:
Well, today was a pretty productive day. In all three courses, we took a look at introductions and the ways in which they work for us (the writers). We thought about pre-game shows for football games and why specific networks would want to hold us in our seats for the duration of the game. We also looked carefully at the first few paragraphs of The Lovely Bones - a favorite of Prof. K's... and how the narrator - Susie Salmon - has us completely mesmerized.

After this lesson, we all practiced taking some chances with our writing by drafting new introductions. Everyone seemed to come away with a new way to get into their drafts.

Reminder for Friday: Submit Draft 1, 2, 3 and Reflection (class work for Friday).

Looking forward to another fantastic day tomorrow.
Best,
Prof. Keane

**I also collected journal entries. The writing looks good, but you all need to review your format a bit :).

  1. Hi prof.Keane this is Habbas abuali and Mike Lortz. What we think that Richard Rodriguez meant in paragraphs (26-32) .He was trying to explain how he started to get his height grades in school and how the teachers want everybody to become like him or just to try to do a little bet like him. And he was telling us how his family uses to make fun of him all the times. He told us when he entered the High School and college. He talked about his Scholarship and how hard it was for him to be in a country that he doesn’t know anybody in it and no one knows him in that country.
