Class #6

Final versions of the Observation Paper, with all drafts and comment sheets, were handed in.

We discussed the techniques for writing about memories in Reid.

We looked at an example of this kind of writing, and then groups read and annotated "The Boy's Desire" by R. Rodriguez.

I handed out the assignment sheet for the next paper, and then we discussed Section 24 in the Everyday Writer. Exercises 24.1 was assigned.

Extra practice with subordination and coordination can be found here.
