September 24

Writer's Note response--Analyze how you think Jeannette developed her own angle of vision in Welch (15 minutes). Discussion.

WN sharing--Keslee and Carson.

30 Days DVD, "Muslims in America"--we got 10 minutes into this before the bell rang.

Note: We are starting work on our next paper--Problematizing a Topic. This paper is described on p. 26 in the text: Write a two-page (double-spaced) essay that poses a question about a problem that perplexes you on a subject matter of your choice or on one designated by your instructor. Besides explaining your question and providing needed background information, you should help readers see (1) why the question is problematic--that is, why it is a genuine problem with no easy right answers--and (2) why the question is significant or worth pursuing--that is, what benefit will come from solving it. Remember that your task here is to pose the question, not answer it.

HOMEWORK:
1. Read Glass Castle, p. 245 to the end.
2. Write GC Writer's Notebook entry.
3. Read Allyn & Bacon text, Chapter 1.
