1. To get ready for Monday's class, please have a look at this. Read through the whole thing and then take a look at the link under: "Can I get some practice with this?" We will also be doing an activity in class on Monday related to fallacies. Be prepared!
2. My availability over the weekend will be very limited. I'll be in the office on Friday from 10-noon. If you need an appointment with me, make it ASAP because I'm not going to be in for more than 2 hours. I WILL NOT be answering email this weekend from 5pm Friday until Sunday at about noon. I also will not be available Sunday night. Plan accordingly.
3. I will be reading over draft pages and your peer review comments this weekend. I'm not sure on a timeline for this. If I can complete all comments, I'll have them to you by Friday evening. If not, Monday morning. I'm not sure how long they will take.
4. One last thing--we will be doing an introduction workshop on Tuesday. I will be asking each of you to bring THREE DIFFERENT (yes, that's right, 3 different!) introductions for your paper with you to class on Tuesday. You can approach this in a variety of ways. You may decide to write three different hooks with all the same thesis statement. You may have all the same hook with different versions of your thesis statement. You may have a one-paragraph intro and two two-paragraph intros. How you make them different is up to you. Do not spend hours on this assignment. Part of the point here is to draft quickly. You all each have one version now, draft two more in minimal time. You'll see why on Tuesday. Don't question the methods yet!
Other than all that, draft, draft, draft your little hearts out. Remember that all rough drafts are due by classtime on Thursday via email. We won't have class on Wednesday (you will all need it either for sleep or for writing) and we won't have class on Thursday because I will be starting to read and give feedback for drafts. The goal is to have them back to you on March 3 (Monday). We'll see how that works out!
