[This could potentially be a great side project for my students, in English 110,
while they are putting together their P4 presentations.
Maybe this is the new P4.5? Hm...]

Here's another sample:

||| Hi all,I'm not feeling very well today (Wed), so for next week, let's do the following:
--- Read the rest of the essays from Sedaris on our white chart; there aren't many left. Be prepared to talk about them or summarize them next Wednesday(April 27) in class.
--- Create/complete your P5.5. Those will be due next Friday (April 29). There is a Dropbox for those.
--- We'll finish the P5s on Wednesday (April 27), so make sure your P5 letters are ready to be handed in - physically on paper - IN class on Friday (April29).
I think that covers everything. Have a nice Easter break,
p.s. I'll introduce P6 on Friday, April 29.

||| Hi all,
I'm not feeling very well today (Wed), so for Thursday, let's do the following:
--- Read Chuck's essay #2.
--- Write up your last Mini-Argument. We'll hand those in on paper tomorrow.
*If you look at the Mini-Argue tab online (under Unit 7), you'll see that thereis a fun option for this last one.
--- The last batch of MyWords is due before class time tomorrow. Please place those online under Unit 7, but don't attach a document.
--- Create your P5 draft for Peer Review tomorrow. Shoot for 250+ words & make sure to look at that list and implement those items.

---Maybe I should consider making more of booklet for the English 110 syllabus next fall. That may be kind of fun. And I should put some essays/articles in there so that if the bookstore has issues with my books again, I'm prepared to have 'em read some things in the syllabus (well, there's always Doc Sharing, too). Here's what I've saved thus far for English 110.
---And then there's English 120 Online. I don't have a lot of flexibility with how that syllabus looks, but I could make the printable version pretty neat. Yeah. They jump right into using the book, kind of. Well, the first two weeks are book-free to a certain degree, so I could use some of the articles/essays I have linked to Delicious as reading material during those first days.
---I don't have as much new stuff for World Literature (English 240), but I'll dig around this summer...
