Rhteoric writing syllabus for reference

[JodyI]

I told students I'd post the syllabus here for reference in addition to the hard copy given in class.

All assignments are listed on the syllabus.

If I have an addition or change, I'll post that on the forum. I will do my best to copy and paste the assignment each time as well, but if I don't post in time, please refer to the syllabus for the standing assignment.

Please note: this week's assignment is pasted here as well. I assume students referenced their hard copy syllabus for the assignment due this week, but I'm pasting here in case it is helpful.

1) Egypt has been called the “Gift of the Nile.” Describe how the Nile shaped Egyptian farming.
Plan, select, and edit your words based on class notes. Include sense words.

2) Think of a location or event from Ancient Egypt. Write a description of it, but limit yourself to describing only what could fit in a picture frame. Capture a snap-shot of time or place.

Bring three-hole copies of this assignment to class (one for each class member + the instructor) for in-class critique.

Track 2 students (in addition to the above two assignments):
Write a second snap-shot. Use a military theme.

*E-mail to me by Sept. 13 if possible. Bring three-hole punched copies to class.

What I will assess:

Use of words and verbs as discussed in class.
Unified, solid paragraphs (for essay format)

Thanks!
