2. Announcements: setting up Twitter accounts and first Twitter assignment. Looking ahead to next week.
3. Note to professor: what are your writing plans for the first essay? What will your writing schedule look like? What are the obstacles you're
imagining you might face? How can our class support your writing
process? Do you plan to visit the Writing Center?
Also, if you have time: do you have questions about the first essay assignment or questions about the course? Are there any confusions you're having, or issues I need to know? Do you have feelings of anxiety I can help with? Are there explanations you need about the novel we're reading?
4. Skills review: paraphrase, summary. Discuss and define terms. When do we use summary? When will we use it in the first essay assignment?
5. Writing Lab: On their own, please note in complete sentences what you believe to the major events or moments of the novel's plot (focus on just one chapter, which I'll assign you). Please assemble your notes into one paragraph, in your own words.
Lab Results: please exchange your summary paragraph with a partner when you're finished. Evaluate whether or not your summaries 'work.' Did anyone leave something important out?
