Beginnings and Summary/Response

I return your papers. You write in your daybook:  1. Copy the strengths and weaknesses down. 2.  One comment/mark that surprised you.  3.  One comment/mark that you already knew.

THEN you make a list of the numbered errors.  Give the number, look up in the Everyday Writer Top Twenty what that problem is, and copy down what you had and what the fix is.  If it is a style issue, explain your preference.

Then we look at alternative beginnings and discuss endings.

Assignment:  Find a song that has both a logical ending in the words AND the music. See Styx.  See Coldplay.


Homework:

1.  Be working on your final draft of the Remembering paper, due Tuesday.  If you want my input, you can attach a draft to an email.

2.  Be finding a song with a concrete ending that you can show us in class on Monday.
