You need the entire week to do this exercise, so start right away.

On the first day of the week, read Chapter 2, pages 22-24 (Ramage, et al.). Stop at the subsection titled 'Seeing Each Academic Discipline as a Field of Inquiry and Argument.'

Below is step one in the three-step process. Please follow the instructions carefully.

1. In the Allyn & Bacon Guide, read pages 26-27 on freewriting and focused freewriting. Note especially the idea of marking the 'hot spots' in your writing (at the top of page 27).

1. Read The Situation (PDF).

1. After reading 'The Situation,' set your timer for five minutes and freewrite your personal response to the proposed policies. You may respond to any one of the suggestions, all of the suggestions, or the ideas as a whole. When you have finished your freewriting, read over it and mark any hot spots.

1. Choose some part of your freewriting and post it to this discussion.
