Welcome to English 1A, Section 3, 8-8:50 AM, MWF!!!
We will be using this blog during the semester to stay in touch.
I will be posting links to assigned readings...and posting handouts...etc.
It will be best to get in the habit of checking the blog daily.
I look forward to meeting all of you next week.
Meanwhile, please visit the bookstore and purchase your books. I have purposely kept the cost fairly low because I very much understand the financial issues of most college bound people!
While you are at the bookstore, please pick up a small travel sized stapler if you don't already have one, as well as two blue/or green books; you will need them for two in class essay assignments during the semester.
REQUIRED TEXTS:
Mixed: An Anthology of Short Fiction on the Multiracial Experience
Edited by Chandra Prasad
The Unwanted: A Memoir of Childhood
By Kien Nguyen
Rules of Thumb: A Guide for Writers (8th edition)
By Jay Silverman, Elaine Hughes and Diana Roberts Wienbroer
REQUIRED MATERIALS;
Lined notebook paper with a clean, straight edge.
Stapler
2 blue books (or green books)
***for those of you who are unfamiliar with what a 'blue book' is, there is a picture of one at the beginning of today's blog. They also can be green and thusly named 'green book'....they are simply several lined sheets of paper stapled together and they cost under a dollar each.
