Assignments For Tuesday 9/4

First off, unless otherwise noted, these assignments are for both sections: 60 (5:30 T, TH) and 61 (7:10 T, TH).

Your Homework for Tuesday are the following readings:from the LANGUAGE AWARENESS text

Malcolm X p.37
Helen Keller p. 43
David Raymond p. 48

You do NOT have to answer any questions about the text. I will give a brief quiz over the reading on Tuesday.

Also, you should retype the handout I gave in class, making the necessary changes. If, for whatever reason, you did not get it, email me at alblack1@memphis.edu

Reminder: THERE IS NO CLASS ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH. Enjoy your night off!

Your first major assignment will be a narrative about yourself. The assignment length will be 600-800 words (600 words is the absolute minimum; a goodly length is probably about 700). This will be on Tuesday, September 11th. This can be a narrative about a number of subjects. I'll give five options. If you have another idea that you'd like to do, we can discuss it.

Your choices are:

1) Your college experience so far.
2) Your pre-college experience and what led you to the University of Memphis
3) How you came to enjoy doing something you do
4) Your experiences with English
5) A major event in your life

This paper can be slightly conversational in tone, but make sure you look over the rules sheets. I think this is a good way to start out a class on writing and reading, by writing about yourself.

See you Tuesday. Have a great Labor Day Weekend and Go Tigers!
