Sandie Friedman's "This Way for Vampires: Teaching First-Year Composition in 'Challenging Times.'"

The past two weeks I've asked you to work quite a bit with Sandie Friedman's "This Way for Vampires: Teaching First-Year Composition in 'Challenging Times.'"

Do you agree with Friedman that popular culture, current events, and the like are good subjects to write about and discuss in a writing class? Why? Why not?

Your Thursday post should be between 200 - 250 words, and your responses to classmates should be between 50 - 100 words. You should summarize, paraphrase, and quote Friedman in your posts.  Don't forget to use in-text citation.
