First Week Recap

Day 1 --10 minutes for calling roll and handing out the QuickStart Guide. If you missed getting one, be sure to pick one up on Monday.

Day 2 -- Picture Day--more time-consuming in some classes than in others. However, most students managed to do the "(fictional) world I'd like to live in" quickwrite. If you did not, please do this at home (just 15 minutes of your time!):  The first paragraph is on the movie or TV show "world" you'd most like to live in (describe it, and explain why it appeals to you), and the second paragraph is the same task only concerning the book "world"  you'd most like to inhabit.

Only one class got to the second activity I'd planned for yesterday, and we'll pick up on that another day.

Day 3 --

Assigned: Self-Definition --due Wednesday, Sept. 11.
 I talked all classes through this assignment first, and then distributed the actual written assignment.  Although I provided hand-outs, I also put this on GoogleDrive so that misplacing your hand-out is no excuse for not knowing what to do!  Here's the link: Self-Definition

Other school supplies--
Both the QuickStart Guide and the message on the board got you started:
  • Black or dark blue pens
  • Loose-leaf notebook paper
But here are several other things you need  which most of you probably have already:
  • A pen of some other color than blue or black--green, red, purple, or even something more exotic. Your choice
  • Highlighter (any color)
  • Notebook--This is the place for taking on-going class notes and for doing requested on-the-spot prep work that will not be handed in. You need to have it with you and out on your desk every day. Choices here--conventional spiral notebook, binder with loose-leaf paper, marble-cover composition book, etc.
  • A folder for keeping hand-outs
Please have these things and be ready to go on Monday1
