G. Thompson
In-class work today--work in pairs. First write for 5 min. then talk with your partner about your writing--not just the content, but development of the ideas. Then when asked to do so, stand where you are and talk to the class about your topic.
[See assignment handout]
For the informal writing on Sunday, you may either develop and edit what you wrote, or write on a different topic from book one.
