As I mentioned in class Thursday, it's common practice for writing teachers to cancel class and schedule office visits instead.

As it happens, I have a raining meeting to attend starting at 11:30, so this is a good time to schedule office visits.

Other due dates are still as scheduled.

Due Today:

P4: My Secret

In a 200-word paragraph, SHOW me a side of yourself that you think most people wouldn't know otherwise. Upload to Turnitin.com.

Points to keep in mind:

  • Show, Don't (Just) Tell
  • Rather than including a list, or describing the kind of thing that "usually" or "sometimes" happens, choose a specific event, and bring me along with you on that event, SHOWING through details that let me live the experience through your senses.
  • Rather than stating "Many people would be surprised to learn that I am the kind of person who does X," which TELLS me that people are surprised, actually try to surprise me.
