Dear all,
For tomorrow's class, I'll begin by sharing reading logs written by one of your seniors and some reflections written by adults who read children's books. I noticed that some are reading Wimpy Kids' Diary. From these reflections, we will see what intertextuality means and how reflections can be profound, insightful, and reflexive to not only you but also those who read your logs.
Then, I'll continue discussing Descriptive writing using the materials I uploaded last week: Tree-climbing and two essays about writing your life. These are all different ways to describe yourself.
Please note that even a personal story needs a clear structure and thesis statement that directs your readers. In the last hour, you will have time to exchange your drafts and outlines again. Please record your friends' comments on your essay and try to integrate them into your revision (draft 2), highlighting in draft 2 the changes you make and making a table showing the comments you have followed and the ones you chose not to follow. An example will be provided in class.
Besides bringing a hard copy of your outline and draft to class for discussion, you are also required to submit an unmarked e-version of your draft on Moodle tomorrow. So I hope that you bring your personal laptop to class. It'll also be easier for you to note down your friends' comments. Remember, I only collect your draft 1s on Moodle.
One last note: I apologize for my forgetfulness about log 3. As I have shown on the gradesheet and syllabus, log 3 is actually due on 9/25. But I said no when some of you asked me in class. Please always refer to the syllabus for deadlines. For the rest of the semester, you will always have to submit at least 2 assignments every week. The easiest weeks (weeks 1 to 3) have passed. Sorry about that!
Oh, a couple of you even haven't submitted your logs 1 & 2!
