March 28 Writing

[JodyI]

Update for the assignment listed in the syllabus for next coop:

For next class, I will be removing one of the items from the syllabus and tweaking the letter to the editor requirement.

Since we did not discuss in class, I will not be adding any extra writing related to literature, so students can dispense with that part of the assignment. For the last couple of co-ops, Lee aann’s literature assignment was long enough to cover part of the writing requirement. I do not believe the literature assignment for the Hobbit is as long, but I will not be adding extra.

For the letter to the editor, students should read several examples of letters to the editor online or in a local newspaper and come to class with a topic and some brainstorming for how they will approach the letter. I will email some examples later today.

Don’t forget that Kentucky agriculture essays need to be in the mail by Friday. Information is found on the link that was sent with the original assignment.

Let me know if you have any questions. Great job on writing so far!
