A Story From Your Experience

A bit of grammar: We look over Section 38 in The Everyday Writer.

You do Ex. 38.1 page 93-94 in Ev. Wr. Exercise Book.

In your daybook, number from 1-10 and write the word with the needed comma following it.

Now, the next paper.  We look at the assignment sheet.  What are reputable sources? 

Now for today's daybook assignment:

On a full page, space out the letters A through E in outline style.  Under each letter leave room to number 1-3.  Next to each letter you will write a topic that you can tell a story or two about.  Then come up with three questions related to those stories that would take you to serious sources to answer.

For instance, from my list:

A. Sailing


     1.  Why did our aluminum mast snap?  Is this common? What is metal fatigue?


     2. Can you lightning-proof a sailboat?


     3.  How many people die each year from sailing accidents? How many sailboats are out there compared to motor boats?




B.  Hiking with little kids (losing Peter)


     1. How many hikers are lost each year in CO or USA?


     2. Where do they charge you for search and rescue?


     3. How have gas prices affected RV sales?  manufacture?




C.  Goats


      1.  Why is colostrum so necessary?


      2. How has the formula changed for powdered kid's milk over the years?


      3. What is the growth difference between kids on milk and kids on powder?

Homework:

1.  Finish this list.  You must fill out letters A through E with at least three questions each. Each question that is solid gets 10 points.  I will give points for more than three questions. 

2.  Summary/Response Final Version turned in tomorrow.

2.  TWFTD: citation from the  OED
