Discussion: What did you learn in your exploration on finding your ideal workspace and being productive? What are some things you will try to implement this semester to help you be more productive? Where have you struggled in the past?
Lecture on Chapter 1, pages 11-17--using prewriting, have a topic and some direction
Writing process= rough outline--->drafting--->revising. This may look different for everyone. Some people prefer to work with notes, while others are better at sitting down to type right off the bat. Get to know your strengths and weaknesses and look for ways to build on what you do well! Some believe that if you emphasize and focus on the good, the "bad" will gradually start to drift away. I think there's some truth to that.
FOR MONDAY: Bring 200 words typed, telling me about your ideal workspace and what helps you be productive. Read the rest of chapter one in your textbook. (I'm still trying to get a sense of where everyone is, so do your best, don't panic...)
**Extra credit opportunity: Monday, 1/31 (THIS Monday) from 1:00-1:50 in COM 319, "Basics For Success" is a workshop that is being offered. If you attend this workshop, type a 200 word reaction and turn it into me on Wednesday for a possible 50 points. Don't worry, there will be other ways for extra credit this semester. But I strongly encourage you to attend if you're able. I will be there, so let me know if you have any questions.**
**Mark your calendar on Wednesday 2/2; we will be meeting at The Writing Center in LIB 308 for a "tour" and to take the grammar assessment test. Go directly to LIB 308 instead of ATB 132; I will be there waiting for you.**
