Week 2+3 Schedule

June 21 - We discuss the Jackie Robinson article and go over the quiz. Since YOU HAVE to do a summary of this story (you can choose which 4 heroes you want to do from the next 6 choices, but you must do Jackie Robinson), you will turn it in Thursday. We will discuss how to turn these notes into an essay.
June 22 – Introduction to grammar.
June 23 – Report directly to the library. You will be getting your library tour on this day. You need to know how to use all of these resources ASAP. You will need them for every class that you take, but you will also need them for your final paper. The first papers that you do WILL NOT HAVE ANY outside references, but you may need to look up information to understand the things that you are reading about. For that, it’s better to do this sooner than later.
June 24 – First, we will collect the Jackie Robinson essay. The assignment for 6am on June 28th is to access the Adam Bender quiz online. You will read the article and then answer the questions. This is worth 10 points. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/e60/news/story?id=3695819 We will finish the class doing a continuation of grammar.
June 28 – We discuss the Adam Bender article and go over the quiz. If you want to do a summary of this story, then you will turn it in Wednesday. We will spend the majority of this class doing a complete discussion of grammar. We will conclude with going over your essays since I DON’T EVER begin class by giving back your essays. This detracts from the learning process, and I need you focused on learning instead of your grade from an assignment past.
June 29 – Lots of grammar fun.
June 30 – Collect the Adam Bender essay. The assignment for 6am on July 1st is to access the Kwame James quiz online. You will read the article and then answer the questions. This is worth 10 points. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/the_bonus/08/15/kwame/index.html Still more grammar fun.
July 1 – We discuss the Kwame James article and go over the quiz. If you want to do a summary of this story, then you will turn it in Tuesday. Today’s agenda? Yep – grammar fun. The assignment for 6am on July 6th is to access the Valeen Schnurr quiz online. You will read the article and then answer the questions. This is worth 10 points. http://www.salon.com/news/feature/1999/09/30/bernall/
