I realize this post is late. Something unexpectedly came up right after class Friday that prevented me from posting before I left the room, which is what I usually try to do.
Remember that today is workshop in the Writing Center. You should be getting ahead on those modules and using what you're learning as you do the writing assignments in class. Once we cover something, you are held accountable for putting it into practice. Carelessness and laziness are not excuses for repeating the same mistakes (over and over); if you need help or clarification, YOU have to ask.
On Friday we heard Jennifer and Dustyn's writing about their favorite people. Thanks for sharing! Reading our writing to each other is just another way that we absorb language. It all helps to improve our writing abilities.
We then reviewed the parts of speech and discussed adjectives and adverbs. If you haven't, READ CHAPTER 8 from your text book! There are practice exercises and samples that will review and perhaps clarify what we covered in class.
Remember that adjectives describe nouns and adverbs describe verbs. You should still read chapter 8 THOROUGHLY!
On Wednesday, in COM 319, there is a creative writing reading event at 11:00. Students and faculty are invited to read their writing. You are welcome to join in the reading, or you may also attend to observe and enjoy the creativity. As an extra credit opportunity, you can earn up to 25 points for attending and typing up a half-page reaction. In order to receive the points, this must be turned in by this Friday, April 1.
I hope your week is off to a good start, despite the silly snow. Browse through the site here for things you may have missed and to review important information. More extra credit will be available soon.
I'll see you all on Wednesday!
