Newsflash: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/10/29/241372607/top-reviewers-on-amazon-get-tons-of-free-stuff

Thinkwrite: What was your main reaction to the reading "Pat Bourne Overcomes..."?

We look at your answers to the questions.

Now take 5 minutes and write a paragraph summary of "Bourne Overcomes..."

What did you include? What did you leave out? Are you doing description?

Now write a paragraph evaluating the "presentation." Evaluate the effectiveness of the writing. Was it clear? Concise? Interesting to read?

Finally, write a paragraph that is your reaction to the content of the article. What do you think of Bourne's story/experience/decisions/ whatever?

We are getting ready to write your second long assignment, with drafts due during class; it is a review, really, but it is more formal, and doing several things at once. I'm calling it the Summary/Evaluation/Response.
