Today I'm showing you how to bookmark the blog on your Hub page.
I will hand out the course information sheet and calendar. Copies are also available in the Moodle version of this course.
A. On paper, write the answers to these questions about the handout:
1. Copy down my name.
2. From the "Course Objectives" section at the top, list the four goals of this class.
3. Circle the course objective in #2 that you think is the most important for you to practice this quarter.
4. How many points is the daybook worth?
5. How many papers or projects with feedback will you write?
6. How many "solo" papers will you write?
7. How many "polished" pages do you have to write to skip the final?
8. What do you think an English teacher might mean by "polished" pages?
9. How can you get a zero on a paper?

10. On this blog, what is the first link under the "Useful Links" section?
11. In Moodle, click on the "Grades" link under "Settings." Which papers are worth the most points? How many points is that?
We discuss.
B. Now, on the back of your sheet of paper, please do some creative thinking/writing. Please imagine a scenario in the future where you will need to communicate clearly and effectively in writing (this includes typing on computers or phone). Try to describe it in as much detail as possible. Is it work-related? Or is it a personal situation? Is something important hanging in the balance?
Pkease remind me to collect these sheets at the end of class!
Homework:
1. Get your books if you have not, including something to use for a daybook and a folder to hold all your graded 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 a long paper.
3. Did you find the typo on today's blog page? Then skip a couple lines below your "Steps for Writing a Paper" and write the typo from this blog page and its correction.
