Agenda, January 18

  • Due Now: "On Dumpster Diving," by Lars Eighner (1993), from 50 Essays, 3rd edition. Add it to your bib.
  • Late: Vocab Styx. Typed. This assignment has a unique requirement: you must post one sentence that includes a properly punctuated colon to the blog.
  • Due Now: "The Roots of Honor," by John Ruskin (1860),  from The Language of Composition. Add it to your Bib.
  • Due Monday, 1/22: Vocab Leavened. Post one sentence as a comment. The sentence you post, however, must include the word “however.” If “however” is an interrupter, surround it with commas; however, if you use it to connect two complete sentences, precede “however” with a semi-colon and follow it with a comma. Bonus Challenge: Write all your sentences about bread or other baked goods.
  • If you know you will be absent tomorrow, get a copy of the essay due Monday. If you are unexpectedly absent tomorrow, be sure a friend delivers the essay to you in time for you to read it. 
  Today's Agenda
  1. Diving deeply into "Dumpster."
  2. A Styx-y situation
  3. "Honorable" vocab and syntax questions
  4. SOAPSTone
