Tips: Choosing Your Two Books To Read

              

Most people find the two nonfiction book readings for this course very interesting.  However, choose your two books carefully so that you will enjoy them for the several weeks you must spend with each one.  Try reading the first page or two, along with the brief description of the book on the back cover or inside jacket.

          

You will choose among two books about a West African civil war for the first book reading; and among two dozen books related to war victims for the second book.  85-90% of students in previous 1114 classes have recommended using these books again.

WHAT IS THE WEEKLY SCHEDULE
OF ASSIGNMENTS, WEEK BY WEEK?

                          

                     

Week 1: Starting, How to Write a Summary, & How to Write the Draft 1 Thesis Paper
(See "Assignment Dates," above, for dates.)

                       

 

ASSIGNMENTS due by Wed. (if class held M/W) or Thurs. (if class held T/Th):

            

1a. Write about Eng 1114 Book Readings (Beah's A Long Way Gone or Bergner's In the Land of Magic Soldiers): 

Buy the Beah or Bergner book from the bookstore--see Textbooks and Resources.  (You may choose which to buy; you'll have a chance to read the other one later, if you wish: see Textbooks and Resources.)  In the Beah or Bergner book, 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 required reading of the book.

1b. Do Miscellaneous 1114 Assignments: There are lots of these this week:

  • Buy your 1114 grammar handbook from the bookstore if you don't yet have one (or choose to use www.onlinegrammar.org)--see Textbooks and Resources.
           

  • Write Journal #1: a "Hello Richard" letter for Eng 1114, 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 Eng 1114 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 Eng 1114 "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 Eng 1114 Study Questions on Comp Textbook, http://CollegeWriting.Info, 150+ w. total (75 w. + 75 w.):

Please note: This is not a textbook you buy.  Rather, you read it online: simply go to www.CollegeWriting.Info online (as shown in the first week of class in the computer lab). 
Do this assignment 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 Eng 1114 Drafts of Papers: 

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. Eng 1114 Bulletin Board due Wed., 400+ w.: Do the first class bulletin board.  
      
(Note: Some classes may not have BB's, depending on the semester and the class.)

The BB is on D2L, which means if you're signed up for the class, then you're signed up already for the BB.   We'll look at it during our very first week of classes, in the computer lab.  You can get to it either through D2L or by going to the home page of this web site 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. Eng 1114 Class-time Activities: Starting.  How to write a summary. 

(Note: 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 possibly the second) class hour, I'll take you into the computer lab.  (If you are in a night class, we'll be in a computer lab the whole first night.)

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 or in the regular classroom, depending on the class and semester.  If the class will have online BB's, then I will show you--in a computer lab during the second class hour--how to do them.  If not, then I will go over in more detail  how to use the Course Packet "Cover Sheets" and how to write the Draft 1 papers. 

1g. 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.)

                       

ENG 1114 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 Eng 1114 Book Reading: 

Read Chapters 1-8 of Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone or Chapters 1-3 of Daniel Bergner's In the Land of Magic Soldiers; 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 Eng 1114 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 Eng 1114 Study Questions on Comp Textbook, 150+ w.: Chapter C4 (Section C, Chapter 4) in http://CollegeWriting.Info.  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:

5a. Write about Book Reading: Read Beah 18-21 or Bergner 11-14, and write a Draft 1-C about it (see below).  

          

5b. Write Study Questions on Comp Textbook, 150+ w.: Chapter C5 of http://CollegeWriting.InfoWhen 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.") 

     

5c. Write Drafts of Papers:  

(i) Draft 1 of Paper C is due this week.  See the "Course Packet" and look for the "cover sheet" for Draft 1, Paper C.  That sheet will have clear, detailed directions.  If you're in class all the time, you'll hear me talk about how to do this paper, too.  

Note 1: Are you having difficulty finding a thesis argument to support?  If so, consider trying two different options: (1) set up a dialogic argument first, and then choose one of the three positions for your thesis; (2) take one of your three positions from your Draft 1-D dialogic paper and turn it into a thesis using info from this week's reading.

Note 2: Are you running late with your Draft 1?  You may turn it in as 300+ handwritten words (with its Draft 1 Cover Sheet on top of it).  It will be considered on time.  I will then simply ask you to revise it (by typing and adding more words) and turn it in again.   

          

(ii) Draft 2 of Paper A, B, or C: Start it as soon as you can.  This first Draft 2 is due Week 7.  To do it, simply choose just one of your Drafts 1-A, 1-B, or 1-C.  Start it very soon, especially if you are going to use your Draft 1-A or 1-B.  Then revise it according to the requirements on the "Draft 2 Cover Sheet."  The reason you should start it as soon as possible is that you must develop several bibliography sources for it, so start right away!  

                

(iii) Draft 2 of Paper C, D, or E: Also, be aware that you will have another Draft 2 due in Week 9.  For it you will choose just one of your Drafts 1-C, 1-D, or 1-E.  (You cannot choose Draft 1-C twice for your two Draft 2 papers.)

Wed./Thurs. class: Tentative--Library.  Meet in Library 102 Wed./Thurs. (depending on which day we normally have class).

(ii) Draft 3's of your Draft 2's: If you want a "B" grade in this course, you must also successfully complete two Draft 3 papers.  Follow the "Draft 3 Cover Sheet" directions.  The first one--a revision and expansion of your first Draft 2, was due last week--Week 10; the second one, an expansion of your second Draft 2, is due next week--Week 12.  The last possible week in which any first-time Draft 3 can be turned in is Week 13: this is the final deadline for turning in a first-time Draft 3.  (A Draft 3 that has been marked for revision can still be turned in again after this deadline.)

             

(iii) Draft 4's of your Draft 3's: If you want an "A" grade in this course, you must successfully complete at least one Draft 4 paper: revise and edit one or two Draft 3's.  The first Draft 4 is due next week--Week 12.  The second is due Week 13.  Follow the "Draft 4 Cover Sheet" directions.

11c. Last Bulletin Board of semester due Wed., 400+ w. in 2+ messages: Check the Bulletin Board or the "Eng 1114 Assignment Dates" above to see if we have BBs this week.  If so, do two 200+ word messages (a total of 400+ w.) by Wednesday midnight. 

   

11d. Class-Time Activities:  (i) What is due this week and next week.  BB reminder. Questions?  Topical discussions on what to watch out for in Drafts 2-3.  
   

(ii) (Added for spring 2009.)  For Wed. class, instead of coming to regular class, go to the IHCC Student-Faculty Conference any day in person April 1-3.  (Fill out a form I will give you, and write 150+ w. on the back of it about at least one 1-hr. SS Day session you attended.  You may get as much extra credit as you want by attending sessions, as long as you write about each one, and as long as no other teacher is giving you credit for the sessions you attend for this class.)   If you would like to make a presentation at this event, alone or with others, I will be glad to give you triple extra credit for the time you spend preparing and giving it and help you prepare it.  Ask me about it. 

                

11e. NOTE: All late Wk. 6-10 papers/make up are absolutely due Wk. 12! The deadline for acceptance of any late homework and make up is Week 12.  None will be accepted later (except as extra credit timed by the minutes/hours).

12c. Write Drafts of Papers (Revise and return them to me right away!):  

(i) Draft 1 and 2 Papers: If you're not done revising them, get them to me as soon as possible.  Technically, the last possible week in which a first-time Draft 2 can be turned in was last week--Week 11.  (A Draft 2 that has been marked for revision can still be turned in again after this deadline.)  However, consult me about whether you can turn in the first-time versions this late.

                                      

(ii) Draft 3's of your Draft 2's: If you want a "B" grade in this course, you must also successfully complete two Draft 3 papers.  Follow the "Draft 3 Cover Sheet" directions.  The first one--a revision and expansion of your first Draft 2, was due two weeks ago--Week 10; the second one, an expansion of your second Draft 2, is due this week--Week 12.  According to the schedule, the last possible week in which any first-time Draft 3 can be turned in is Week 13.  (A Draft 3 that has been marked for revision can still be turned in again after this deadline.)

12d. No Bulletin Board.  (I have four or five conference events to attend on Fridays/Saturdays this semester, and so I have professional leave from classes to attend them.  I decided to take this professional leave on the last four or five Fridays/Saturdays.  This is why we don't have BB's for the rest of the semester.)

   

12e. Class-Time Activities:  (i) What is due this week.  BB reminder. Questions?  Topical discussions on what to watch out for in Drafts 2-3.  (ii) No classes at IHCC on Wednesday, which is a holiday in Fall 2009.

   

12f. Deadline for taking a "W" passing is drawing near: If you are failing this class and would prefer to take a "W" passing (instead of a "WF"--withdraw failing, or an "F"), check the deadline for doing so.  It is coming soon.

13a. Miscellaneous: All make ups and extra credit for weeks 6-14 are due Wk. 15 (except tutoring, which is due at the Final).  Also note: appointments for tutoring in the Writing Center can be very difficult to get in the last 2-3 weeks of the term.

        

13b. Write Study Questions/Homework Options: No more. 

     

13c. Write Drafts of Papers (Revise and return them to me right away!): 

        

(i) Draft 1 and 2 Papers: If you're not done revising them, get them to me as soon as possible.  The last possible week in which a first-time Draft 2 could be turned in was technically Week 11.  Consult me about whether you can turn these in so late.

                                      

(ii) Draft 3's of your Draft 2's: If you want a "B" grade in this course, you must also successfully complete two Draft 3 papers.  Follow the "Draft 3 Cover Sheet" directions.  The first one was due in Week 10; the second one was due in Week 12.  The last possible week in which any first-time Draft 3 can be turned in is this week--Week 13.  (A Draft 3 that has been marked for revision can still be turned in again after this deadline.)  Consult me about whether you can turn in the first-time versions this late.

             

(iii) Draft 4's of your Draft 3's: If you want an "A" grade in this course, you must also successfully complete at least one Draft 4 paper: revise and edit one or two Draft 3's.  The first Draft 4 was due last week--Week 12.  The second is due next week--Week 13.  The last possible week in which any first-time Draft 4 can be turned in is Week 14--this will be an absolute deadline (no matter what else I have said about first-time Draft 1's, 2's, and 3's) because there simply isn't time for someone to revise a Draft 4 using required tutoring if he or she hasn't turned it in by the end of this week.  

13d. No Bulletin Board
