Sample Writing for Tuesday

Hi folks:

There will be no reading due for Tuesday's class.  I may bring in some samples to discuss, but no reading to have done prior to class.  However, be sure to bring your typed response for our CMA activity from last Thurs.  and bring _Rules for Writers_ for our MLA discussion.  Finally, keep in mind on Thurs. (10.8) that a peer-review draft for essay two is due and that next Tues. (10.13) your first draft is due.

Also, next week we will start Unit Three and you will have to do extensive reading in _Looking Closer Five_.  I've noticed that some of you didn't have _Poets and Painters_ with you in class during our discussions.  This is unacceptable.  Any class period when we are discussing an assigned reading, you are required to have the text in front of you (even if this means making photocopies of a peer's text). 

As always, e-mail me with any questions and be sure to bring questions (both general and specific) about my written comments on essay one.

See you all on Tuesday.

Unit Two Schedule

Hi folks,

Here is the tentative schedule for Unit Two.  For Thurs., please read the two essays listed below (both in Poets on Painters), and take a quick glance at the paintings here on the Picnic Table (and one in P on P).  They should compliment the Moore and Strand essays.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to e-mail (jbutts@ccad.edu or teacupsaucer78@gmail.com). If I don't hear from you, I will assume this all makes sense. I may add a reading or two, if it seems like we need more examples.  Expect quizzes.  See you all on Thurs.

 

9/22    Introduce Prompt

9/23   Read Moore on Robert Andrew Parker, pp. 38-43 and Strand on Edward Hopper, pp. 339-43 both in P on P. Look at samples by Parker and Hopper on the Picnic Table (below).  Also look at Hopper’s House by the Railroad in the glossy print section in the middle of P on P (around page 125).
