Make-Up First Day In-class Writing

If you missed the first day of class, you missed an important in-class writing assignment. I asked students during this session to answer these three questions:

What is writing?

How does writing work?

What is your relationship to writing?


You don't have to write a whole lot here. A few sentences should do the trick. You may also choose to e-mail this to me in a .doc file or just write it out with pen and paper and give it to me in class. And though it might seem like a trivial assignment, it's actually very important. Part of what you'll do in the final essay is assess your learning over the course of the semester. Among other things, you'll be trying to think about how your thinking on writing has changed in the last 15 weeks. This short response then will be an excellent touchstone to come back to when thinking about how much you've learned this semester.
