essay

On the date upon

which you are assigned, you come to class with a two-

page word-processed paper centered upon something

that is making you thoughtful from our discussion

and/or material and read it aloud to the class. After the

class in which you read, be sure to hand-in your essay

to me and I will return it to you next class with

comments and a qualitative grade. You need only do

one in-class response reading to earn this portion of

your grade. This 2 page informal response essay --

along with your essay tests -- constitute the writing

component of this class, and they should be cleanly

and carefully written just as you would a formal paper.
