    4- Video clips of Inside the Actor's Studio (visual example of P1.5).
    5- For Wednesday: Read "Case for the Double-Voiced Discourse" in P1.5 Doc Sharing folder and conduct a mini-interview (or we may attempt this in class instead?).

    Today, in class, I plan to start out with George Carlin (possible pop quiz?) - discussion and videos. Then, we need to talk about citations because some students used other sources besides personal interviews for P1. I have a brief handout for that. Then, I showed the "Impotence of Proofreading" video by Taylor Mali because some of them may need to proofread before submitting P1 (due by midnight tomorrow). Before wrapping up, I showed the class this very teaching blog where I'll keep my daily notes. Lastly, a student logged into the teacher station computer to show the class how to place his P1 in the correct Dropbox. For Monday, read up to 103 (and there's a writing assignment attached to that reading using the number 3).

    Hello English 110ers... this week, we're doing Writing Conferences, one-on-one, in my office (check syllabus for where that is). Sign up on my door if you haven't already. In addition to meeting with me, you're required to read farther in Carlin's book - up to page 65, in fact, continuing to mimic his lists along the way. From now on, when you are absent from class, check this blog for what you missed; it'll save me A LOT of time repeating repeating repeating. Yay! (I just emailed all of you an ABSENT SHEET to use when not in class for excused reasons.)

    See you all as a class Friday (P1 is due Saturday at midnight)!
    p.s. The minimum number of words required on P1 is 500. So, shoot for 505 or 577 or 789, got it?
    p.p.s. Don't forget your ONE SOURCE!
