Jan 28th

Something is scary in Essay Land...

In an effort to link the previous day's classes to the two writing projects we completed our first quote journal write (Quote #1). I thought that the quote selection raises questions of who we are as individuals, linking to our Personal Insight writing, in addition to extending thoughts on how we perceive others, which moves into our next write which requires character analysis. I'm curious to see what connections were made in class...

"We live in our own souls as in an unmapped region, a few acres of which we have cleared for our own habitation; while of the nature of those nearest us we know but the boundaries that march with ours."

-Edith Wharton (The Touchstone)

Onwards!

The basics of an essay format were recorded into our journal. This was done withe the aid of a couple examples:

hmmmm... go figure.

We finished the class with some examples of Introductions... good ones... and bad ones...

DUE MONDAY: Personal Insight INTRODUCTION
