Quick Quiz over the syllabus
Out of class writing (to be handed in when you get to class): YOUR informal letter of introduction:
Directions: Compose an informal letter of introduction, typed, double-space, no more than one page; include your name and class in the header. NOTE: I am not asking for personal information; this is more of a writing sample to familiarize me with your academic and/or professional background.
Follow these guidelines for your introduction:
- paragraph 1: Briefly explain your background, prior to coming to Macon State
- paragraph 2: Discuss your own experiences with writing, past or present. You might mention classes or past experience that has prepared you for English 1101 and what you hope to achieve in this class
- paragraph 3: Discuss the sort of reading you do on a daily basis. What websites do you frequent? What is your favorite book? Who is your favorite author?
Read the essay by Steven Johnson, "The Genius of the Tinkerer" & be prepared to discuss
