Today we will review the narrative work you submitted last week (#3), the Maya Angelou narrative (link on week 3) and sentence punctuation. There will be a short essay midterm (#4) today after break.
For next week (we will work on it in class): Essay (#5) Summary/Response and Quotation Work: Read the photocopied chapter "Speak Kindly," from P.M. Forni's book Choosing Civility. The chapter takes the form of both process (intructional) and cause/effect analysis. Respond in summary form to the chapter ideas, the author's main idea and supporting points. Use the format indicated right here in my instructions to introduce chapter title, book and author. Provide a sufficient and interesting review of his major points and means of support or illustration. Relate experience of your own or provide commentary to "talk to" the points he makes and your imagined audience. Quote several line(s) or parts of lines that convey his ideas particularly well. Punctuate them as direct quotations and see that they “fit” grammatically in the sentence and paragraph in which you have placed them or set them off.
