Problem/ Solution Day 1

Thinkwrite:  Come up with three labels that apply to you.  (For me, my labels  include teacher, mother, driver, gardener, daughter, reader.)

Now think of the worst thing (morally or emotionally) you have ever done.  What labels might someone on the outside attach to you based on those actions?  Don't tell what you did, but list some labels.  (Mine would include liar, killer, bully, thief, fool.)

Are any of the terms on your second list also on the first?  Why not?

Remember I said that TED talks were Creative Commons works?We watch this. Is any of this your problem?

Now we read an example of the next paper you will write. Bedford pages 185-187, "Why Prisons Don't Work."

In your daybooks, answer questions 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 from Bedford page 187.

Homework:

1. Begin thinking about a problem you can write about, with actual solutions you can propose and explain. The problem should be something you have personal experience with.

2. Remember the short essay due Wednesday.

3.  TWFTD:  identity in OED NOT the first definition!
