EWRT 2.15 Announcements Friday January 12

Recap of Week 1 Thanks for bearing with the enrollment process and the textbook glitch! I have read over your Preliminary Drafts and I must say that I am very impressed. If you are interested in reading about the context of the image that I presented to you, here are some links about the photo. Wikipedia on Abu Graib (see, also, Criticism of Wikipedia) Keep in mind what one student cautioned in his paper, "The only thing you as a person who is going to judge have to do is to make sure that the picture is not fake and make sure that source and date of the evidence is true." (Zokaei) This week we covered Items 1-5 listed on your class Homepage. Send me an e-mail if you have any questions about these items, or you need help to complete any of them. Tip: If you don't have a digital picture of yourself to paste into the Introduce Yourself assignment, I'll bring a camera to class and we'll take one. Just let me know. Tip: To find the Lunsford reading listed for January 10th, first log-in to Comment, and then go to our class, and then click on the book icon of The Everyday Writer that you will see in the top left hand corner. A pop-up window will open and you will see a "Jump to Section" search box. Enter 59b and you will see the reading.) Week 2 Prospectus (Don't forget that Monday is a holiday!)
