Welcome to the first day of October. A chill is in the air, and it seems like the fall is really starting to arrive.
In class today, we worked through all of our questions regarding "Our Children and Our Schools" by Mike Rose. Additionally, you broke up into pairs and worked through the handout helping you to organize your thoughts and ideas - which will help you in your discovery draft.
I have to say that I am really conflicted about Writing Assignment #2. Should we focus only on Rose, or should we spend some time with Rodriguez tomorrow? If you have an opinion, post it here - or see me at the start of class.
Stay warm, and I'll see you all tomorrow (TGIF)..
Best,
Prof. Keane
A bit of both.
ReplyDeleteHi,today I really enjoyed being in your class; you were very helpful to me and the other students. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that class was helpful today. I really feel like we accomplished a great deal. Also, in terms of the Rodriguez piece, we will get some time with his story - it is definitely an important one.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

ReplyDeletewhat do u mean when you said that connect to a larger field of basic writing
ON THE MIKE ROSE ESSAY, HOW MANY PAGES DO WE NEED TO WRITE????
ReplyDeleteHi Matt -
ReplyDeleteMike Rose is talking about his school - UCLA - and the way they treat students who are in basic writing programs. Now, there is a whole field of basic writing professionals - sort of like their area of expertise.

Hi Onisy -
ReplyDeleteFor the Mike Rose essay, you should write between 2-3 pages.
