  • English120: Second Day of Classes.

    Items on this list are subject to how much time we spend on each item.
    1. Take attendance with PeopleSoft printout.
    2. Show this teaching blog.
    3. Ask if they've seen any arguments or controversy since our last class time.
    4. Questions about the two pages in the syllabus that they had to read?
    5. Look at the first mini-arguments; the topic was "Write a bad argument." Share in groups maybe and then have them share a few with the whole class.
    6. Show eCompanion and how to change email addresses.
    7. For next Wednesday: respond to first Class Blog question - What makes you controversial? [Show my video in class?]

    I'll save the Syllabus/Book Quiz for Wed (due Thurs) and the Chapter 1/5 readings for Thurs? just in case students don't have the books yet. And, hopefully, by next Wednesday, I'll have an updated chart to hand out to them with more of a day-to-day schedule (instead of weekly).
