Timed In-class Essay Assignment

I am sick again today. Tuesday is the day you will write the timed Common Assessment Final.

The assignment sheet is sitting on my desk in my office 156A. Please stop by and pick one up. You will be reading a short article and thinking about it, in order to write about it during class on Tuesday.

The article is available online:

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/11/23/rice-2 . It's also in Bedford (see the assignment sheet for page number).

Read, annotate and prepare to write about this article on Tuesday. On Tuesday you will find out what the prompts are; there will be a choice between two different ways to write about the article.

Homework:

1. Solo Paper #3 is due Monday.

2. Read "Rice" so that you will be ready to write about it  on Tuesday.

3. TWFTD: your choice from "Rice"
