You look at the course syllabus. Copies are also available in the Moodle version of this course. We sign on to the computers and find the blog and Moodle.
I. On paper, write the answers to these questions about the handout:
1. What is my name? What will you prefer to use, Mrs. or Ms. Loden, or Kate? Pick one and write it down.
2. In the "Course Objectives" section, which of the four goals do you think is most useful to you?
3. How many long papers will you write?
4. How many short papers will you write?
5. How many points is the daybook worth?
6. How many "polished" pages do you have to write to skip the final?
7. How can you get a zero on a paper?
8. On the blog, what is the first link under the "Useful Links" section?
9. In Moodle, what is the picture under Short Project #1?
II. After you finish those, you will send a message to me in Moodle that contains the following:
1. Introduce yourself to me with a description of something that makes you happy.
2. Think of what written communication you have done in the last month (texting, typing, writing). 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.
