Agenda, January 12

  • Due Now: "The Gospel of Wealth," by Andrew Carnegie (1889). We'll cite it together. 
  • Due Now: Optional revision of Money Narrative. 700-800 words. Highlight changes on new draft. Paper clip new draft on top of old. Be sure you know what you need to work on.
  • Due Tuesday, 1/16: "On Dumpster Diving," by Lars Eighner (1993), from 50 Essays, 3rd edition. Add it to your bib.
  • Due Tuesday, 1/16: Vocab Styx. Typed. This assignment has a unique requirement: you must post one sentence that includes a properly punctuated colon to the blog. 
  Today's Agenda

  1. A structural analysis of Andrew Carnegie's "The Gospel of Wealth"
  2. Argument o' the Week (doubtfully)
Procedure:
  • As a group, agree upon the structure of the essay. Some of the breaks in the handout will help; others will be less useful.
  • Every individual should write a two-sentence intro.
  • Assign one group member to write a paragraph about the opening, one to write about the close, and two to write one paragraph each about the middle.
  • Each individual should write his or her paragraph in a google doc. Share that doc with me.
  • When everyone is done, assemble that doc into a complete essay. Use footnotes to let me know who wrote which paragraph. Share that doc with me, too.
