Homework assignment for Monday, Jan. 28

1. We did not get to discuss the book chapters, so we will catch up on the book through Chapter 4.
2. I forgot to give you the style quiz to take home so we will do that first thing in class. Please review the style rules I have posted on the blog and those in the back of the text book.
3. "Copy out" four or five paragraphs from the writer whose writing you brought to class. That means that you type the actual words that the writer wrote and then follow each graf with a brief analysis of the writing. Ask yourself how the writer did that, how the writing fits with the ideas we've talked about in class and what vital functions the writer is fulfilling as described in the text on page 9. (You will turn this in along with your earlier analysis of why you like this writer.)
4. Do Exercise 1 on page 41 of the text. This can be about a page and a half. Please try to post this on the blog and link to the blogs you analyze. Also bring a printout to turn in.

I enjoyed the discussion in class today.
