Agenda, September 28

Due Dates:
  • Due Now: "'I Just Wanna Be Average'," by Mike Rose (handout) 
  • Due Now: Synthesis Paragraph in which you support your opinion with quotations from two different sources that we've read. Typed. Double spaced. (I didn't say this in class, but you should be used to this by now. When you read this note, pass this info along to your "guy."
  • Due Thursday: "None of This is Fair," by Richard Rodriguez (handout). Before you read, you should skim this article to familiarize yourself with the concept of affirmative action. (A note about the article: I didn't particularly like the website and I'd certainly avoid clicking on any of the ads, but the content was solid.)
  • Due Friday: Education Narrative about a time when you struggled to learn something. 
  • Due Monday, October 5: Common Place #2 based on an editorial that addresses an issue from our education discussion on the first day of class. For Common Place #2 only, you may use an editorial that is up to one year old.
