Online version of the text. Page numbers will be off so keep that in mind as we get into discussion of the text.
1. Essay Editing–Thoroughly and constructively edit your peer’s essay paying particular attention to the points of focus. Yet, do not ONLY pay attention to the points of focus. Remember, you will be graded on your editing job. Again, be sure to give constructive feedback (Meaning simply pointing out problems is not good enough. Offer up suggestions for improvement).
Note: Everyone is expected to edit an essay. If you were absent or did not have a copy today in class, it is still your responsibility to ensure that you edit someone’s essay. Also, if you were absent today, you must bring in a note explaining your absence. Otherwise, your essay is late.
2. (Due 2/15) Between the World and Me-Read and annotate up to p. 50.
