Readings for Week 2
Please note: Your reader response is one document that takes in the assigned readings (not one for each reading). Look for themes or ideas that connect and write about those, for example.

Readings for Week 4
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: As most of you know, my father is having a medical procedure in the morning on Monday, February 11th. Since I need to be with him and do not know how long it may take, I am cancelling our 12:20-1:35 class. In lieu of being in class, please use this time to work on your CR project and bring what work you have done in class.
As well, please combine the homework schedule for Monday and Wednesday: (1) Prepare your CR assignment to discuss in class; (2) Write about your grammar pet peeve (1-2 paragraphs); (3) Read the readings on error for Wednesday’s class and write your response; and (4) Write a love poem that takes place in the kitchen (this last should be a more fun activity). We will have class on Wednesday, February 13.
In this next reading, please just look at "Errors Windows to the Mind" (p55-65)
This next article is an additional piece on errors (not required)
Readings for Week 5
Readings for Week 6
On Wednesday, February 27, we will be visiting the BSU archives in the library. I'm adding this reading because it provides a bridge for rhetoric and writing as art. It also provides context for thinking about our work in the library.
