Welcome

This is the place for the daily happenings. Be clear about where the blog is, and where Moodle is.

You look at the course syllabus. Find the answers to these questions:

1. Which goal at the top of the page do you think is most important?

2.  How many long papers will you write?

3. How many short papers will you write?

4. How many points is the daybook worth?

5. Why should you keep all your returned papers in a folder?

6. How can you get a zero on a paper?

7. On the blog, what is the first link under the "Useful Links" section?

8. In Moodle, what is the picture under Short Project #1?

After you finish those, you will send a message to me in Moodle that contains the following:

1.  Introduce yourself to me with something about you that you're proud of.

2. Think of what written communication you have done in the last month.  Describe it -- who was it for, what was its purpose, what was the result?  Do this for as many communications as you have time for.

Homework:

1. Get your books if you have not, including something to use for a daybook and a folder to hold all your returned papers.

2. On the first page in the daybook, write today's date and "Steps for Writing a Paper." Underneath that title, please use your past experience to put together a list of steps for writing an essay or long paper.
