Assignments
Summaries: In NFG, summarize each of the sample essays in Chp. 54 (559-96) in a paragraph of no less than 100 words apiece. The first sentence of each summary should convey the essay's thesis or main theme. These essays include "Se Habla Español," "Mother Tongue," "The Secondhand Bookseller," "Literacy Behind Bars," and "The Canary-Colored Caravan of Death." Hence you should submit a total of five summaries. Compile them on the same MS-Word document and submit via Pilot. DUE DATE & TIME: Friday, Mar. 2, 5 p.m.
Literacy Narrative: Submit the literacy narrative via Pilot. DUE DATE & TIME: Friday, Mar. 9, 5 p.m.
Final Meditation: In English 101, you have been asked to read and synthesize a lot of information and produce four very different short essays, each of which focused on specific elements of writing that will ideally prepare you for future composition and literature courses. The online structure of the course also allowed you to engage with computer technology while interacting personally with me and one another. Write a 250-500 word meditation on the course in which you describe the skills you learned and developed in English 101 and how you foresee yourself putting them to use in other courses and/or outside of university life. This meditation should be entirely free of mechanical and grammatical errors, so be sure to both writing something thoughtful and revise your writing. Submit this final meditation via Pilot. DUE DATE & TIME: Friday, Mar. 9, 5 p.m.
