Genres and Observation

First of all, you show each other your genre examples.  Enter them into your daybooks.

Then we meet Samuel Scudder. We discuss observation. The student.

Here's a link to the Scudder article if you lose your copy.

And here is an example of the kind of writing that meets this assignment ( see handout also).


Homework:



1. Identify what you will observe for your Observation/Description Essay. You may begin taking notes as you observe. You are required to have two full pages in your daybook of notes/drawings/diagrams related to this observation, but they can be done at any time throughout the work period for this essay.


2. Draft #1 is due on Wednesday Oct. 13 next week.


3.  Read "The Iguana" for discussion Monday.
