|
ASSIGNMENTS
due by Wed.
(if class held M/W)
or Thurs. (if class held T/Th):
1a.
Write about Book Readings (Bergner's In the Land of Magic Soldiers):
Buy
the Bergner book from the bookstore--see Textbooks
and Resources. (The Frankl book is optional; you may want to choose
a different book later--see Textbooks
and Resources.) in the Bergner book, In the Land of Magic
Soldiers, skim the back cover, any short
introductions inside, and any tables of contents. There's nothing to
write about them, yet. By W./Th. of next week, though, you'll need to have
read--and written about--the first three chapters of Bergner.
1b.
Do Miscellaneous Assignments: There are lots of these this week:
-
Buy
your grammar handbook from the bookstore--see Textbooks
and Resources.
-
Write
Journal #1: a "Hello Richard" letter, 300+ w.
(due W./Th., but you may have until the beginning of the
first class in Week 2): I would enjoy hearing 300+ words saying hi
to me, telling me about your past experiences, good and bad, with writing,
how they have affected you, how you feel about this class, what you would
like to learn, who and what you are in general, how you feel about school,
etc. (As with all of your writings in this class, I never share them
with other students or teachers without your permission.) Add the
proper info about the assignment in the upper-right corner: please see the colored box below, "How
To Present the Weekly Papers." To see examples of related
student journals, click here: Sample
Student Journals.
-
Write
a Summary of this course Web site, 300+ w. total: on a separate sheet of
paper, write about 40+ words for each link in the light-yellow bar at the
top of every page. There are eight links ("Home Page," "Dates/Wkly.
Assgnmnts.," etc.). Give each an underlined Subtitle
using the name of the link. Add the proper info about the
assignment in the upper-right corner: please see the gold box below, "How
To Present the Weekly Papers."
Also:
-
Complete
and turn in your "Information and Photo" sheet. (If you
missed getting one, ask me for it.) Please return the whole sheet to
me physically with your photo on it. Wait until you have the
photo--something I can keep, even if you have to copy it. You can copy
and enlarge a driver's I.D. photo if you have nothing else.
-
Fill
out your email address on the sheet I pass around in class. (You may just
ask for the sheet if you missed it.)
-
Print
out 2 (TWO) copies of the "Eng. 1114 Course Packet."
One
is for bringing to class each time, and one is for home. Turn one of
them in to me for credit for printing it out. Keep one in your
materials you bring to class. Keep one at home.
You
need to print two copies of the "Packet" because you'll need two
copies of many of the sheets in it to attach to your assignments that you
turn in.
1c.
Write Study Questions on Comp Textbook, http://CollegeWriting.info,
150+ w. total:
Do
it on two chapters--75+ w. on Chapter E2 (Section E, Chapter 2),
and 75+ w. on Chapter C2 (Section C, Chapter 2).
When you read chapters
like these, you only need to click on and read the sections shown in the top four boxes
("Introduction," "Basics," "Advanced," and
"Samples"). Reading others, like "Fun" and "Exercises," is
optional.
To do the
required study questions, click on "General Study
Questions." There are four types of study questions: you may choose
which type you wish to do. Please note in the upper-right corner of
your study questions which set you are doing: ("6
Responses," 6 Points," "6 Questions about Chapter," or
"6 Questions about Samples")! You must write 150+
words. To read how to present all "Journals" and "Study
Questions," please see below, "How
To Present the Weekly Papers."
(If you have trouble finding the
"Study Questions," simply click here on www.tc.umn.edu/~jewel001/CollegeWriting/studyquestions.htm.)
1d.
Write Drafts of Papers (as soon as possible):
You
can wait until Week 3 to turn in your first Draft 1, which will be
"Paper A." Instructions for working on it are in your
"Eng. 1114 Course Packet"--see "Draft 1, Paper A Cover
Sheet." Before doing this Draft 1-A, you should read the chapter
assigned in Week 2 that is in http://CollegeWriting.info.
1e. Bulletin Board due Wed., 400+ w.: Do the first class
bulletin board.
You'll
have to sign up for it before you are allowed to writing anything on it.
We'll look at it during our very first class. You can get to it by going
to the home page and clicking on "BULLETIN
BOARD." Try to do it right away! It's due Wed. midnight. (Remember, though, that you don't have
to do this until after I have spent an hour showing you in class how to
do the online bulletin boards, and normally we will do this together in a
computer lab, where you will have the chance to do part or all of your first
bulletin board in the computer lab during that class. This first
time, having the assignment done by Thurs. midnight--instead of Wed.
midnight--will be soon enough.) Remember to
do it!
1f.
Class-time Activities: Starting. How to write a summary.
Classroom time is divided into three classes each
week: two classes on campus and one class completely online. (If there
is a night
section, it is divided into the 1st half and the second
half, with a third class completely online). (If I have two sections of
this course, they are
interchangeable--if you want to make up a class by coming to the same one in
the other section, feel free to do so: simply show up, and when I take
attendance, remind me to give you your own section's
attendance sheet. If you want to change permanently, I can do that for
a couple of people, but ask me first!)
In Week 1,
during the first and second class hours,
I'll take you into the computer lab (night class: as mentioned
directly above, the 1st and 2nd classes are combined into the 1st and 2nd hour
of the night class). The third class hour, we'll be back
in the regular classroom:
Wk.
1, first class hr.--in the computer lab: I will show you the different parts
of the course materials on the Web and how to do the "Study Questions"
assignment.
Wk.
1, second class hr.--in the computer lab: I will show you how to sign up for the online class.
Third
class hr.--back in the regular classroom: I will go over in more
detail how to use the Course Packet "Cover
Sheets" and how to write the Draft 1 papers. Remember that the
third hour each week is the online bulletin-board class. However, this
will not start until the very end of Week 1--after I have spent
an hour with you on the computer, describing how to do the online class.

ADDITIONAL
WEEK 1 INFORMATION:
HOW TO PRESENT
THE WEEKLY PAPERS
|
For each
one, you may type or handwrite using dark ink. On any one paper, if you write more
than one page, please turn the sheet over and continue on the second page. (However,
write each type of paper on an entirely new sheet: e.g., "Study
Questions" should be on one sheet, and a "Journal" should be on another,
separate sheet.)
Also, whenever you turn these types of papers in, please write, in the upper-right
corner of the first page, the following info so I can tell the difference between
the assignments, the weeks, and your class and any other section or class I might have
(and also so, if your paper is lost on campus, it will come back to me). This may
not sound like it's very important, but it makes a big difference for me. It helps
me a lot. I look at 100-300 such papers per week. I do appreciate your
help with this:

Week 3
Study Questions [or Summary or Journal #3]
Set B: 6 Points
Do I
read every last word of every sheet of your writings about your readings?
Your writings about your readings are like biology lab practices or sports practice: they
are meant for you to practice writing on your own, to think more thoroughly about what you
have read, and/or to better remember what you have read by writing about it. Do I
read every last word? There isn't time for me to, given how many weekly papers I
assign to all my students. But that's okay; they're mainly for your practice
anyway. I do at least look at each paper to see if you've met the requirements and
have done the reading. And sometimes something grabs me and I read part or all of
these weekly papers. If you ever do want me to notice something in particular and
comment on it, or if you want to ask a question, why don't you write me a note at the very
top of the first page and circle it or mark it darkly so I'll definitely see
it. Your note might be something like "What do you think of my answer to number
2?" or "I have a question: how do I find out how to contact you?"
Then I can answer your question or check out something in your paper more carefully. |

Week
2: Questions, Discussion of Book Reading,
How
To Write a Summary, & How
To Write an Analysis Paper
(See "Assignment
Dates," above, for dates.)
|
ASSIGNMENTS due by Wed.
(if class held M/W) or Thurs. (if class held T/Th):
Please
remember that assignments are due Wednesdays for M./W. classes, or Thursdays for
Tu./Th. classes!
(For exceptions, go to "HOMEWORK/Late
Papers.")
2a.
Write about Book Reading:
Read Chapters 1-3 of Daniel Bergner's In
the Land of Magic Soldiers; or Chapters 1-8 of Ishmael Beah's A Long
Way Gone; and write a summary of it all, 150+ w., point by point. For
this summary, write the the page numbers of the reading in your left-hand
column of your summary: e.g., "1: 2: 3:" etc. or "1-2:
3-4: 5-6:" or "1-3: 4-6: 7-9:" etc., with a one-sentence
statement of the main idea, event, or subject on each page (or each two or
three pages).
You
must write each statement as a full, complete sentence (no fragments or brief
phrases), that statement must accurately summarize the main thing there in
each set of pages, and you must have a total of at least 150 words--more is
allowed but not necessary. However, you must also summarize the whole
reading that you did, first page to last page, using this method.
(Will
you have to do such painstaking note taking the whole semester? Don't
worry--you won't. :-) There will be
other ways of writing about the chapters, too. I do want you to do this
for the first two readings, though, so you practice how to write an accurate,
efficient summary paper, even if short.)
2b.
Do Miscellaneous Assignments:
Get
the "Info & Photo" sheet to me, if you haven't already.
Please return the whole sheet to
me physically with your photo on it (unless you know how to
scan the photo sheet w/a photo and email it that way). Give me a photo I can keep, even if you have to copy it. You can
enlarge and copy a driver's I.D. photo if you have nothing else. It will
save me time if you tape or staple your pic--all 4 corners--to the "Info
& Photo" sheet, so I don't have to do it myself. I need to have
each photo fully taped/stapled when I stack the whole class's sheets together
so the photos don't get stuck or ripped off.
Also,
fill
out your email address on the sheet I pass around in class, if you haven't
already done so (just ask me for it).
2c.
Write Study Questions on Comp Textbook, 150+ w.: Chapter C4 (Section C,
Chapter 4). A reminder:
When you read chapters
like these ones, you only need to read the sections in the top four boxes
("Introduction," "Basics," "Advanced," and
"Samples"). Reading others, like "Fun" and "Exercises," is
optional.
You may also read and just write about the "Samples"
alone, if you already know this type of paper well. (One of the ways to
write your 'Study Questions" is "Set D: Anwers to Questions about just
the Sample Papers.")
To do the
required study questions, click on "General Study
Questions." There are four types of study questions: you may choose
which type you wish to do. Please note in the upper-right corner of
your study questions which set you are doing: ("6
Responses," 6 Points," "6 Questions about Chapter," or
"6 Questions about Samples")! You must write 150+
words. To read how to present all "Journals" and "Study
Questions," please see below, "How
To Present the Weekly Papers." (If you have trouble finding the
"Study Questions," simply click here on www.tc.umn.edu/~jewel001/CollegeWriting/studyquestions.htm.)
Please
let me remind you, further, of two things about "Study Questions" and
"Journals." (a) First, if one of them is longer than one
page, simply turn the sheet over and do the rest on the back of that same sheet
(if you are handwriting it). (b) Second, please remember to turn
each one in with the proper identifying information on each one in the
upper-right corner (Why? See "Additional
Week 1 Information," above), as follows:

soon as possible is that you must develop several bibliography sources for it,
so start right away!
