PLEASE PRINT THIS ENTIRE WEB PAGE with TWO-SIDED COPYING, AND BRING IT TO OUR CLASSROOM MEETINGS.                                                   Week 1: How To Start; Readings; Writing Summaries     (See "Assignment Dates," above, for dates.)     These ENG 1108 ASSIGNMENTS are due by Thursday Class: Do Miscellaneous Eng 1108 Assignments and Study Notes: Choose your grammar handbook.  If you want a physical copy (one that may be required in your Comp II course later on), you can buy Diane Hacker's Rules for Writers.  I think it costs about $60.  (Let me know if I'm wrong!)  This is one of the most popular and successful grammar handbooks in the nation for two-year college students.  Or you can choose to use the Online Grammar Handbook, which I put together as a directory to hundreds of grammar web resources around the world, and is online at www.OnlineGrammar.org, and is free (but a little bit old by now).  There also are links to it at my professional website, www.RichardJewell.net, and at the English Department website, http://depts.inverhills.edu/English. Buy your first book of reading assignments from the bookstore. [Note: Much of this paragraph is a shortened repeat of what is said about these books in the "Textbooks" page of this website. Please go there to see more details--to go there, simply go to the top of any page in this website and click on "Textbooks."] You may choose one of these books: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by Rowling (or any other of the seven Harry Potter books) The Hobbit by Tolkien [or any of the three Lord of the Rings books--(1) Fellowship, (2) Two Towers, and (3) Return] Hunger Games, Book One, by Collins (or one of the other two, Catching Fire or Mockingjay, in the series) The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Book One of Narnia series by Lewis (or any other of the seven Narnia books) All four are relatively inexpensive paperbound books, especially if you buy them ahead of time used (allow 1 wk. for delivery). All are equally easy to read (though Lord of the Rings is probably one grade level higher than all the others).    Write Journal #1: a "Hello Richard" letter, 300+ w. (due Th. at the end of Wk. 1):  I would enjoy hearing 300+ words saying hi to me, telling me about your past experiences, good and bad, with writing, how they have affected you, how you feel about this class, what you would like to learn, who and what you are in general, how you feel about school, etc.  (As with all of your writings in this class, I never share them with other students or teachers without your permission.)  To find out how to format all "Journals," "Study Notes," and "Summaries," please see below, "How To Present the Weekly Papers."  This assignment is for credit. (To see examples of related student journals, click here: Sample Student Journals.) Write Journal #2: a Summary of the 1108 Web Site (due Th. at the end of Wk. 1):  Write a 300+ words summary of the course Web site, with eight subtitles (one for each of the major web pages in this website, as shown at the top this website in the navigation bar. There are nine links shown there, but you only need to summarize eight of them for about 40+ words each:  - Home  - Dates/Assignments  - Readings  - How To Do Papers  - Grading  - Attendance  - Course Packet  - FAQs    (Note: This assignment is for credit.) Make at least two copies of the "1108 Course Packet": both should be single sided!  You will need single-sided sheets from both copies during Weeks 2-7 of the semester, and you will need single-sided sheets from one or both copies in other weeks.  (You may also have to return to the Course Packet to make additional copies of some of the sheets.) ALWAYS BRING AT LEAST ONE "COURSE PACKET" COPY TO CLASS EVERY CLASS DAY! You may go to the school computer labs to print it free--set the printing for "single-sided" ("one-sided") copying. Please do NOT print it in the library!              To find out how to make these copies, click here or go back to the HOME page and look there or in the TEXTBOOKS & RESOURCES page for "Course Packet."  This assignment is for credit. Please print this schedule--preferably two-sided copying--and keep it with you in class. You may go to the school computer labs to print it free. Please do NOT print it in the library!  Complete and turn in your Eng 1108 "Information and Photo Sheet."  (If you missed getting one, ask me for it.)  Please return the whole sheet to me physically with your photo on it.  Wait until you have the photo--something I can keep, even if you have to copy it.  You can copy and enlarge a driver's I.D. photo if you have nothing else.  This assignment is for credit. Find our regular writing textbook. It is free and online at www.WritingforCollege.org. Read chapters 24, 25, & 26--and do Study Notes for them, 150+ w. (This is due the second time we hold class.  To do Study Notes, you may first read all three chapters and then take Study Notes; or you may do the Study Notes as you read the three chapters.  You must do a minimum of 50+ words of Study Notes on each chapter: 150+ w. total for all three. You may handwrite in dark ink or type, single or double spaced. Use both sides of a sheet of paper if possible. Again, do this assignment on chapters 24-26. Do six separate bullet points or paragraphs separated by a full line space between each. Please write your 150+ w. with six or more bullet points or paragraphs about two or more points or parts of chapter 24, another two or more about chapter 25, and a final two or more about chapter 26 (six or more bullet points or paragraphs, total; 150+ w., total). How should you do the study points? You may: (a) summarize six parts, (b) respond with what you think about six different parts, and/or (c) respond with what six different parts make you feel or remember. For more details on this assignment: The Study Questions for the Study Notes are in your online writing textbook: WritingforCollege.org. (or the shortcut web address WforC.org).  Go to that web address, and click in the lower-left corner, on "Study Questions."  Once you're in the textbook, look near the bottom of the left-hand column.  You'll see "Study Questions" listed there.  Click there to see what kinds of Study Questions you can use for taking your Study Notes.  Basically, you can use any of the first three types of Study Notes--from simple summarizing to deeper discussion--that you want, as long as you show me through your Study Notes that you have read each chapter.  Just be sure to make a total of six points, at least two per chapter this week, and write a total of 150+ w. for all three chapters.  (Do not write 150 words per question; you do not need to write 150 w. per chapter--just 50 w./chapter, or 150+ w. total for all three chapters.)            To find out more about typing or handwriting all "Journals," "Study Notes," and "Summaries," please see below, "How To Present the Weekly Papers."  This assignment is for credit.  Also: Check out this 1108 Web site: take a few minutes to discover the main parts of it and how to move around in it.    Prepare for your required Draft 1 papers by reading the Course Packet's "Draft 1-A Cover Sheets." Please see, on the sheet I pass around in class, whether I have the email address you want me to use for you.  If not, then cross out the one I have, and fill in the one you want. (You may just ask for this sheet if you missed it.) In the Eng 1108 Classroom: Classroom time is divided into two periods of meeting each week.  a normal "class hour" = 50 min., and Eng 1108 has four "class hours" per week, which means 200 minutes. We have only two periods , which means that each of our classroom periods will be 100 minutes.  Nots and Don'ts in College Classes: Please:  - Do not work on your assignments during time spent in our class.  Class time is not a time for working on any homework assignments of any kind, for this course or another.   - Do not use any kind of electronic device at all, for any purpose, and have all electronic devices off--cell phone, tablet, and laptop.  The only exception is if you are using a laptop or tablet to take notes for this class with no other pages up (no social media, no websites, not email, not anything unrelated to this Eng 1108 class).   - Do not hold in your lap, have on your body, or place near you any cell phone or other device on which you are texting--whether sending or receiving.  The only exception is if you are waiting for a true emergency call, and then you must first ask my permission.  - Do not turn in your homework assignments at the middle or end of class.  The assignments are due at the beginning of the class if you want credit.  (If you miss the homework deadline, then you may turn in late homework as extra credit, instead: mark it as "extra credit" and tell me how many minutes you spent working on each assignment.)  ADDITIONAL WEEK 1 INFORMATION: HOW TO PRESENT THE WEEKLY PAPERS (8-'15) Should you type or handwrite your weekly homework papers? Either way is fine--pen or typing. But either way, use dark ink--no pink or green writing, please. Also, don't use pencil! It's too light, too. Can you write on both sides? Definitely! It's not required, but it saves paper. However, if you have two different assignments (e.g., some "Study Questions" and a "Journal," do write them on two entirely different sheets.    How should you label them? Label each different type of assignment in the upper-right hand corner (please not the upper left). Then if they are lost, both you and I stand a better chance of getting them sent to us on campus. Also, both of us can keep track better of all your writing for the different types of assignments and different weeks. Please label them as follows (in the upper-right corner of your paper): Name (First & Last) for Jewell, Eng 1108 Week Number Study Questions, Journal, Summary, Draft 1 Thesis, or ??? [for Study Questions:] Set A: 6 Responses or Set B: 6 Points or Set C: Answers about Chapter or Set D: Answers about Samples Here's an example: Chris Lee for Jewell, Eng 1108 Week 3 Study Questions Set B: 6 Points --- Do I read every last word of every sheet of your weekly homework?  Mostly I just skim. Why? I have up to 150 papers like this to look at each week. The most important thing is your practicing and thinking about these subjects. Research surveys show that when people write about what they have read, they are two to three times more likely to remember it. (And your writing gives me a good way, too, of knowing you've read the assignment.) I do check each paper to see if you've met the requirements and have done the reading.  And sometimes something grabs my attention, and I read part or all of a paper. In addition, if you do want me to notice something or answer a question, write a note at the top of the first page: for example, "Please read paragraph two!" or "Please see question at end of paper!" or something similar.  Then I'll be glad to check it out. Return to top.  Week 2: How To Write Analysis Papers     (See "Assignment Dates," above, for dates.) These ENG 1108 ASSIGNMENTS are due at the beginning of Thursday Class: 1. 1108 Miscellaneous Assignments:     Read your fantasy reading book. Read the first required reading in your reading book, below. You will have to write a 500+ word draft about it as described below, so be sure to read it well.

Also, after the first reading, if you want to change to a different book or series, you may. (If you're reading one of the other books from the above series, see weeks 5-8 for the number of pages you should read each week from that series.) Fill out your email address on the sheet I pass around in class, if you haven't already done so (just ask me for it). Complete and turn in your "Information and Photo" sheet.  (If you missed getting one, ask me for it.)  Please return the whole sheet to me physically with your photo on it.  Give me a photo I can keep, even if you have to copy it.  You can copy and enlarge a driver's I.D. photo if you have nothing else. Show me your printed copies--or at least one copy--of your "Course Packet" if you haven't already done so (see "Week 1 Assignments"). Hand in your summary of the 9-10 parts of the course Web site, if you haven't already done so (see "Week 1 Assignments"). Write 1108 Study Notes on Ch. 27, "Analysis Papers," 150+ w.  Read "Chapter 27. Analysis Papers" in our online textbook, WritingforCollege.org (shortcut: WforC.org); then do Study Notes for it.  To find the Study Questions for doing your Study Notes, go to the same web site and, on the home page, in the lower-left corner, find and click on "Study Questions."  Because Chapter 27 has sample papers, you must confine yourself, in the Study Questions, to using ONLY Study Questions type "C." or type "D," using prompts like those--or summary--to write about the chapter. To write about the chapter: Find the five different web pages for the chapter at the top of the page. Read the "Introduction/Home Page." Read and write 4+ points on the "Basics" and/or the "Advanced" web pages. To make your 4+ points, use 4+ bullet points or 4+ paragraphs separated by line spaces. Summarize, discuss, or respond in some way to "Basics" and/or "Advanced" in your 4+ points. Then read and write 2+ points on the "Samples" web page: read at least two of the more developed samples, writing at least 1 point about each one. OR, instead, you may read the "Introduction" and "Basics" and/or "Advanced web pages, and then write all 6+ points/paragraphs on the "Samples" web page--but you must write about at least three of the more developed sample papers. Be sure to describe something about the title and contents of the samples in such a way that I can tell you read them. Write a total of at least 150+ words. (More is not necessary but is okay.) Doing any of your weekly homework: Please remember that if you are handwriting a paper of any kind and it is longer than one page, simply turn the sheet over and do the rest on the back of that same sheet.  (However, write each type of paper--for example, a Journal and a set of Study Notes--on entirely separate sheets of paper.)  Also, do not write homework during class time.  Class time is not a time for working on other assignments of any kind, for this class or another.   All homework assignments due on a specific day for this class must be turned in at the beginning of the class to get credit for them.    Please note in the upper-right corner of your Study Notes which set you are doing: ("6 Responses," 6 Points," "6 Questions about Chapter," or "6 Questions about Samples")!  You must write 150+ words.  To read how to present all "Journals" and "Study Notes," please see above, "How To Present the Weekly Papers." 3. 1108 Draft 1 Paper: Write Paper A, (Draft 1-A Analysis Paper), your first analysis paper, using the directions in the "Course Packet" for writing a "Draft 1-A: Analysis Paper."  You also must attach the "Course Packet" cover sheets--two pages--for "Draft 1-A Analysis." Attach them as two 1-sided sheets (NOT as one 2-sided sheet) to the top of the paper that you turn in. 4. Choose a 2nd book to read in Wks. 5-8 from the list of four books above and below (or one in the same series) and go buy it. Here are ways to get your 2nd book: 1. IHCC Bookstore: I have asked the IHCC bookstore to have a few copies (like five copies of some, two of others) of some of the books.  But these may be sold out quickly. 2. Other Bookstores: Call a regular bookstore to get the book, but you better call 2-3 wks. ahead of time in case the bookstore has to order it from a distance.  A few of the books are hard to find. 3. Buy on Web Weeks Ahead of Time: Buy the book 2-3 weeks ahead of time from a place like www.amazon.com, new or used at widely varying prices and shipping charges. 4. Buy on Web Late for a Higher Price: Buy the book 1 week ahead of time from a place like www.amazon.com and pay a bunch of extra money for 2-3 day shipping. 6. Find Copy at Any Library with Longer Borrowing Time and/or Renewable Time: See if you can find a copy to check out from a library's regular holdings.  The IHCC library might have its own copy to check out for longer, and other libraries might, too.  Do this as soon as possible--weeks in advance, and then renew it as needed--because other people will be trying to get it, too. 5. In the 1108 Classroom: How to turn in Draft I's and how to do the Draft I-A Analysis Paper.  Other activities: (a) What's due next? Discuss getting the 2nd reading book.  Questions?  (b) Discussion of reading, if time allows, and/or more practice of working on analysis papers. Please let me remind you of two things about "Study Notes" and "Journals."  (a) First, if one of them is longer than one page, simply turn the sheet over and do the rest on the back of that same sheet (if you are handwriting it).  (b) Second, please remember to turn each one in with the proper identifying information on each one in the upper-right corner (Why?  See "Additional Week 1 Information," above), as follows: Name (First & Last) Course and Section or Time Week Number Type of Assignment Instructor Name Here's an example: Chris Lee Eng 1108-01, 1 p.m. Week 3 Study Notes, Set B [or Journal #3] Jewell ---                 Return to top.  Week 3: More on Analysis Papers   (See "Assignment Dates," above, for dates.) These ENG 1108 ASSIGNMENTS are due at the beginning of Thursday Class: 1. Study Notes on Chapter 31, "Way of Arguing," 150+ w. total.

If you have waited until this week (or a few days earlier) to buy it, here are your options: 1. IHCC Bookstore: I have asked the IHCC bookstore to have a few copies (like five copies of some, two of others) of some of the four main books.  (But these may have sold out, already.) 2. Other Bookstores: Call a regular bookstore to get the book: call first, as some bookstores may only have expensive hardbound editions instead of the cheaper paperback or trade-paperbound versions. 3. Buy on Web Late for a Higher Price: Buy the book 1 week ahead of time from a place like www.amazon.com and pay a bunch of extra money for 2-3 day shipping. 4. Find Copy at Any Library with Longer Borrowing Time and/or Renewable Time: See if you can find a copy to check out from a library's regular holdings.  The IHCC library might have its own copy to check out for longer, and other libraries might, too.  Do this as soon as possible--weeks in advance, and then renew it as needed--because other people will be trying to get it, too. 3. Draft 1 Paper: Write a Draft 1-C "Dialogic" paper:.  To write it, follow the directions in your "Course Packet" for the "Draft 1-C and D Dialogic Paper."  You may write a very, very rough-draft paper--just follow the directions for it.  Attach the same sheet of directions to the top of your rough draft paper when you turn it in.  (Please note also that if you don't have time to type it or make it long enough, or you are missing the directions page, turn it in anyway with at least 300+ words of very rough draft handwriting, and it will be on time.  However, do not write it during class time.  Class time is not a time for working on other assignments of any kind, for this class or another.   All assignments due on a specific day for this class must be turned in at the beginning of the class to get credit for them.    4. Prepare for your required Draft 2 papers by reading the Course Packet's "Draft 2 Cover Sheets." 5. Turn in a 2nd Source for your 1st Draft 2 Paper.  Your first Draft 2 paper (an analysis or dialogic paper) must have three bibliography sources.  They are as follows: (a) your reading (Half the Sky or Slave) (b) a "Print" source (from a library or bookstore shelf) and (c) a "Web" source (found on/through a computer or tablet).  This week, you must turn in a rough-draft bibliography showing "b" or "c." This assignment is worth two X's.  (Or you may turn in all three sources to take care of both this week's and next week's bibliography requirements, and receive four X's.) 6. In the Classroom: What's due next?  Discuss Student Success Day (SSD), which is next week.  Questions?  Questions about how to do the Draft 1's in general?  What questions do you have about dialogic writing?  (a) Discuss how to do Draft 2 papers.  (b) Work on dialogic argument more.  Other activities:  What did the reading do to/for you?  Film?  Misc.: e.g., circle sentencing, other activities.   7. All late Wk. 1-5 papers/make up absolutely due Wk. 7! The deadline for acceptance of any late homework and make up is Week 7.  None will be accepted later!   ---                 Return to top.

Choose and start reading a 2nd fantasy book from the books/series below. You may choose another of the four main books listed below, or you may continue in the same series (or a different series). Or you may, well in advance, suggest a fantasy book to me, preferably at least a week in advance.    Reading Assignments Wk. 5 Wk. 6 Wk. 7: Wk. 8: Harry Potter #1-7 (rdg. level: ages 12-14) 90 pp. 90 more pages 90 more 90 more Hobbit (level: 16+) or LOTR #1-3 (18+) 70 pp. 70 more 70 more 70 more Hunger Games #1-3 (ages 14-17) 80 pp. 80 more pp. 80 more 80 more Narnia Series (#1-7) (ages 9-12) 120 pp. (includes pics) 120 more (includes pics) 120 more (includes pics) 120 more (includes pics) Each book is about $10-20 at the IHCC Bookstore. The books in all four series are popular fantasy fictions. Note again: You may NOT depend on a book you've already read--you must read or reread it this semester, page by page. (Note again, too, that you may choose any book in each of the four series.) And you may not simply watch the movie--you'll have to provide specific quotations with page numbers from your books when you write papers about them. You're out of time to choose a 2nd book to read starting this week for Wks. 5-8.  Buy it, read it, and write about it by the beginning of class on the writing assignment due date this week. If you have waited until this week (or a few days earlier) to buy it, here are your some remaining possible options: 1. IHCC Bookstore: I have asked the IHCC bookstore to have a few copies (like five copies of some, two of others) of some of the four main books.  (But these may have sold out, already.) 2. Other Bookstores: Call a regular bookstore to get the book: call first, as some bookstores may only have expensive hardbound editions instead of the cheaper paperback or trade-paperbound versions. 3.

Turn in all three sources for your 1st Draft 2 Paper.  Your first Draft 2 paper (an analysis or dialogic paper) must have three bibliography sources.  They are as follows: (a) your reading (Half the Sky or Slave) (b) a "Print" source (from a library or bookstore shelf) and (c) a "Web" source (found on/through a computer or tablet).  This week, you must turn in a rough-draft bibliography showing all three of these sources.  (This assignment is worth two X's.) 5.

Study Notes on Ch. 34, "Thesis Papers," 150+ w.: Read the chapter in www.WritingforCollege.org and write 150+ w. of Study Notes about the chapter.   To find the Study Questions for doing your Study Notes, go to the same web site and, on the home page, in the lower-left corner, find and click on "Study Questions."  Because this chapter has sample papers, you must confine yourself, in the Study Questions, to using ONLY Study Questions type "C." or type "D," using prompts like those--or summary--to write about the chapter. To write about the chapter: Find the five different web pages for the chapter at the top of the page. Read the "Introduction/Home Page." Read and write 4+ points on the "Basics" and/or the "Advanced" web pages. To make your 4+ points, use 4+ bullet points or 4+ paragraphs separated by line spaces. Summarize, discuss, or respond in some way to "Basics" and/or "Advanced" in your 4+ points. Then read and write 2+ points on the "Samples" web page: read at least two of the more developed samples, writing at least 1 point about each one. OR, instead, you may read the "Introduction" and "Basics" and/or "Advanced web pages, and then write all 6+ points/paragraphs on the "Samples" web page--but you must write about at least three of the more developed sample papers. Be sure to describe something about the title and contents of the samples in such a way that I can tell you read them. Write a total of at least 150+ words. (More is not necessary but is okay.) 2. All late Wk. 1-5 papers/make up absolutely due Wk. 7! The deadline for acceptance of any late homework and make up is Week 7.  None will be accepted later!   3. Read more from your 2nd fantasy book from the books/series below. You may change books at any time for any reasons. You may use another of the four main books listed below, or you may continue in the same series (or a different series). Or you may, well in advance, suggest a fantasy book to me, preferably at least a week in advance. Reading Assignments Wk. 5 Wk. 6 Wk. 7: Wk. 8: Harry Potter #1-7 (rdg. level: ages 12-14) 90 pp. 90 more pages 90 more 90 more Hobbit (level: 16+) or LOTR #1-3 (18+) 70 pp. 70 more 70 more 70 more Hunger Games #1-3 (ages 14-17) 80 pp. 80 more pp. 80 more 80 more Narnia Series (#1-7) (ages 9-12) 120 pp. (includes pics) 120 more (includes pics) 120 more (includes pics) 120 more (includes pics) Note again: You may NOT depend on a book you've already read--you must read or reread it this semester, page by page. (Note again, too, that you may choose any book in each of the four series.) And you may not simply watch the movie--you'll have to provide specific quotations with page numbers from your books when you write papers about them. You're out of time to choose a 2nd book to read starting this week for Wks. 5-8.  If you haven't found your 2nd book, yet, see Wk. 5, above, for some options for finding it.   4.

Draft 2's: Your first Draft 2 is due, now, as immediately as possible.  Write your Draft 2's as soon as you can from your Draft 1's.  You can choose only one Draft 1 A/B/C/D and one Draft 1 C/D/E/F to change into two Draft 2's.  Each of these Draft 2's will be the same paper as the Draft 1 you chose; however, it will be longer and will have a bibliography with two additional sources added to it, along with quotations in the paper that come from those sources.  Draft 2 still is only a rough draft, but it does need sources added to help support what you say in your paper, and it also does need to have twice as many quotations and a bibliog.  To find out just what to do, read the Course Packet's "Cover Sheet 2--Details" and come to class regularly.  Helpful tip: You DO NOT HAVe to complete all your Draft 1's to do a Draft 2.  In fact, if you want, you can take your very first Draft 1 and turn it into a Draft 2 right away, if you like it well enough.  6. In the Classroom: (i) NOTE: On Thursday, we will start meeting every Thursday in Computer Lab B-121. After this, come to B-121 every Thursday. (ii) On THURSDAY of this week (or possibly next), we will not meet at all. Instead, please do Thursday's attendance by going, instead, to SSD ("Student Success Day"). It is required. SSD happens every fall and spring in Week 5 or 6: a day of changing most regular classes (ask your other teachers) to sessions and keynotes on how to succeed in different kinds of college work, and free food. Day classes usually are cancelled, and night classes usually don't meet until after 7 pm. Whenever you arrive for SSD, sign up in the lobby of Heritage Hall to get a complete schedule and your ticket for free pizza at lunch and/or supper. If you cannot attend SSD on the day it happens, you can attend online at www.inverhills.edu/SSD. If you do not want to attend, you may need to make up this missed attendance day with extra credit. You also may attend more than 2 hrs. of sessions at SSD for extra credit--as long as you are not attending any of them for another teacher's requirement. (8-'15) (iii) What's due next? Questions?  How do you do the Draft 3's, and what does "research" mean?  What did the reading do to/for you?  Film?  Misc.: e.g., circle sentencing, other activities.  How do you write a thesis paper? 7.

Read more from your 2nd fantasy book from the books/series below. You may change books at any time for any reasons. Reading Assignments Wk. 5 Wk. 6 Wk. 7: Wk. 8: Harry Potter #1-7 (rdg. level: ages 12-14) 90 pp. 90 more pages 90 more 90 more Hobbit (level: 16+) or LOTR #1-3 (18+) 70 pp. 70 more 70 more 70 more Hunger Games #1-3 (ages 14-17) 80 pp. 80 more 80 more 80 more Narnia Series (#1-7) (ages 9-12) 120 pp. (includes pics) 120 more (includes pics) 120 more (includes pics) 120 more (includes pics) Note again: You may NOT depend on a book you've already read--you must read or reread it this semester, page by page. (Note again, too, that you may choose any book in each of the four series.) And you may not simply watch the movie--you'll have to provide specific quotations with page numbers from your books when you write papers about them. After reading your assignment from your chosen book, write a "Summary Paper" about it (as mentioned below with directions below). 3. Summary Paper: Write "Paper G.": a rough-draft Summary Paper.  It should be a page by page "Summary" of this week's reading of your 2nd chosen reading book.   It should summarize every 1-3 pages of this week's reading with a sentence or two, and be sure you have a total of 300+ words.  For each 1-3 pages you summarize, either summarize what happens in one to three sentences (e.g., you may do just one sentence for all three pages, or you can do three sentences for each page--your choice), or write down the most important 1-3 ideas in those 1-3 pages: for example,  pp. 1-3  Here the author describes xxxxxx.  He gives as reasons xx and xx. pp. 4     He says that xxxxx. p. 5-6    He adds that xxxxx.  You must be detailed and specific so anyone reading your summary will know that you read the assignment and also will be able to tell from your sentences exactly what is in each page.  You also must write in complete sentences.  The purpose of practicing this kind of summary is to prepare you for future academic classes or jobs in which you may have to accurately, carefully, and in detail describe people, events, or writings you have seen.  We'll only do this once this semester, so do it carefully so that you may learn this as an important and accurate mechanical thinking tool. 4. Draft 2's: Your second Draft 2 is due, now.  Helpful tip: You don't have to have all your Draft 1 papers done, yet, to write a Draft 2.  In fact, you don't need to have both A and B (or both C & D, or both E & F) of Draft 1 papers done to choose between them: you can just go ahead and use the first of the two papers to create your Draft 2, if you want. 5. Draft 3's: Your Draft 3 also is due.  (You only need to do one D-3 for the course.) Please turn it in as quickly as possible.  Your Draft 3 should be developed from one of your two Draft 2's.  To do a Draft 3, read the "Draft 3 Cover Sheets" in the Course Packet.  There are a lot of directions, so take notes--and then reread the whole thing again. Writing the Draft 3 involves four main activities: better organizing, better paragraphing, better typing, and correct sentence structure (no fragments or comma splices). You'll also need to add 1 additional source. Look on the page before or after the "Draft 3 Cover Sheets" to find more details especially about how to type your papers.  Helpful tip: You don't have to have all your Draft 1 and Draft 2 papers done, yet, to write a Draft 3.  Just use a Draft 2 that is done and get started on a Draft 3!  Remember: Draft 2's are worth more X's than Draft 1's; a Draft 3 is worth even more X's, and a Draft 4 is worth the most X's.  So, if you get behind in doing some of the beginning drafts, just do enough to help you move on quickly to at least one of your Draft 2's, and then a Draft 3.  You can come back later to complete the early Draft 1's and another Draft 2.   6. In the Classroom: What's due next? Questions?  How do you write a "Summary" paper?  How do you do the Draft 3's?  What did the reading do to/for you?  Film?  Misc.: e.g., circle sentencing, other activities.  How do you write a disagreement with a reading (if not already done in Wk. 6).   Questions for next several weeks:  What are the differences between quotations, paraphrases, and your own thoughts?   How do you use the sandwich method of adding quotations?  How can you practice this in groups (sent. circling)?  How do you use MLA and APA style to write quotations and paraphrases? (group practice?)  How do you develop, order, and type a bibliography in college?  (group practice?)  ---                 Return to top.  Week 9: Finding & Using Resources Continued     (See "Assignment Dates," above, for dates.) These ENG 1108 ASSIGNMENTS are due at the beginning of Thursday Class: 1. Reading about Research: Again this week (as in Wk. 7), may choose to read about research from your printed grammar handbook, Rules for Writers by Diana Hacker, if you bought it.  Or you may choose to read several chapters about research from our online textbook www.WritingforCollege.org.  Either one is acceptable (or you may read both for extra credit): Hacker, Rules for Writers, read chapters (NOT pages!): CHAPTERS 56 through 60 OR Jewell, www.WritingforCollege.org: CHAPTERS 39, 40, and 41 Then write 3050+ w. each on each chapter, a total of about 150+ words for all chapters together.  Use three to five Subtitles or numbers: "Chapter __," "Chapter __," etc. Write 30-50+ w. for each, describing or responding to what you read in it in such a way that I can tell you read the entire chapter.  2. We are done with "Reading Books" for the semester so that you may spend more time researching and writing Drafts 2 and 3 (and 4). 3. Draft 1 Paper: Write a Draft 1-F, another "Thesis Paper":  To write it, follow the directions in your "Course Packet" for the "Draft 1 E & F Thesis Paper."   4. Draft 2's & 3's.  Get them to me as quickly as possible!   5. Turn in a 2nd Source for your 2nd Draft 2 Paper.  Your second Draft 2 paper (a dialogic or thesis paper) must have three bibliography sources.  They are as follows: (a) your reading (Half the Sky, Slave, or your 2nd reading book you chose) (b) a "Print" source (from a library or bookstore shelf) and (c) a "Web" source (found on/through a computer or tablet).  This week, you must turn in a rough-draft bibliography showing "b" or "c." This assignment is worth two X's.  (Or you may turn in all three sources to take care of both this week's and next week's bibliography requirements, and receive four X's.) 6. Prepare for your required Draft 3 paper by reading the Course Packet's "Draft 3 Cover Sheets." If you've already read it, read it a second time--there's a LOT of info there! 7. In the Classroom: What's due next? Questions?  What did the reading do to/for you?  How do you write the type of business or professional argument called a "Proposal" [need, solution/prop., method--people/jobs/$$/steps/dates, outcomes/results]?  How can such devices as Big Ten Commas, Peacock Sentences, Soft Periods, and Hard Commas help your writing  (with practice/game)?  How can you help each other with your Draft 2's and/or 3's (in small groups if time allows). 8. All late Wk. 6-10 papers/make up are absolutely due Wk. 12! The deadline for acceptance of any late Wk. 6-10 homework and make up is Week 12.  None will be accepted later (except extra credit to add to attendance X's or points)!   ---                 Return to top.  Week 10: How To Write Draft 4's     (See "Assignment Dates," above, for dates.)

Turn in all three sources for your 2nd Draft 2 Paper.  Your second Draft 2 paper (a dialogic or thesis paper) must have three bibliography sources.  They are as follows: (a) your reading (Half the Sky, Slave, or your 2nd reading book you chose) (b) a "Print" source (from a library or bookstore shelf) and (c) a "Web" source (found on/through a computer or tablet).  This week, you must turn in a rough-draft bibliography showing all three of these sources.  (This assignment is worth two X's.) 7. Draft 4: Your first Draft 4 is due.  It should be developed from your first Draft 3.  See the "Draft 4 Cover Sheet" in the Course Packet for directions.  The main emphasis in the Draft 4 is to carefully edit your Draft 3 paper.  You also will need to add 3 paraphrases--1 to each section. 8. In the Classroom: What's due next? Questions?  How do you write Draft 4's?  How can such devices as Big Ten Commas, Peacock Sentences, Soft Periods, and Hard Commas help your writing  (with practice/game)?  How can you help each other with your Draft 2's and/or 3's (in small groups if time allows)?   NOTE: In spring 2015, there is a replacement activity for regular Wed./Thurs. class.

"Goodbye Richard" Journal #6, 300+ w.:  I would enjoy hearing your final comments!  Please tell be about what you think you've learned, how things went for you, the class, the course, the people, what you liked most and disliked most, how life in general is working out for you in this semester of college, and whatever else you'd like to add.  I don't return these journals, so if you have a question to ask me, please send it by separate note or email, or come see me. 2. Draft 1-3's: Get them to me by our last class this week and ask me to mark them in/after class, and you will still have time to revise them again before the Final. 3. Draft 4's: Get them to me now--if there's time, have me check them after class--to see whether you need to work on them more and turn them in at the Final.  (Last week was the last time to turn in 1st-time Draft 4's.)   4. In the Classroom: Wk. 16 is usually shortened, with next week--Finals Week--starting Saturday or sooner.  We'll still meet Mon. and Wed. of this week for this class.  Our two-hour Final will be next week on one day.  What happens next? Final Questions?  Marking of papers in class for the last time, so you can revise them again by the end of this short week.   --- (If you want to bring a paper to my house up until midnight of the day of our Final, please go to "Contact Richard" in www.richard.jewell.net for instructions and directions.) If you want to send a paper to me online, follow these instructions: Copy & paste cover pages: 1. Copy the two pages of the cover sheet. 2. Paste them at the very beginning of your manuscript (they will become pp. 1-2).       (Don't worry about the formatting of their margins, yet.) 3. Write-- in the blank area where "Comments" go-- whether this is a first-time version of this draft or,      if it is not, then write in the comments that I made on your previous version of this draft. Next, format them: 4. Highlight (mark with your mouse) these two cover-sheets pages (first two pages only); 5. Set margins: go into "File/Page Setup/Margins" and set them as follows:     Top=.23, Bottom=.23, Left=.25, Right=.25,      and below these, set "Preview/Apply to" on "Selected sections." Add other pages: 6. Copy & paste your bibliography to the end of your paper.     (Please do not send the bib. as a separate attachment.) Rename and attach your files: 7. Rename your file so the names are accurate (e.g., "Shawn  S. D-2c 2nd time"). 8. Attach them to an email to me with a properly labelled subject matter (e.g., "D-2c 2nd time"). 9. Rename & attach a file for the previous paper, too, if you have it (e.g., "D2c 1st time").   Week 17--Final Exams Week: Our "Finals" Day--New Time   (See "Assignment Dates," above, for dates.  NOTE: Exams often run on an odd schedule and not Monday-Saturday.) ASSIGNMENTS due at the Official 2-hour Final:  1. Miscellaneous Assignments:  All Make Ups for just Weeks 16-17 are due at the Final, as are any extra credit or make ups from tutoring at the Writing Center.  (Extra credit and older make ups were due in Week 15.)  (However, any extra credit or make ups from tutoring at the Writing Center will be accepted until the class Finals day.  The Writing Center generally is open only the first two days of Finals Week and closed the last two days.) Goodbye Richard Journal #3 was due last week, but I'll still accept it this week.    2. Draft 1-4's: Get them to me on the day of the Final, no later!  3. In the Classroom at the official "Finals" time--often different from the usual class time, and longer: This is the course "Final."  We meet for 1:40 (one hour and forty minutes) officially.  There is no final test in my courses.  However, we are required to meet during this time. So, we'll discuss your final questions, comment on the class, and say goodbye to each other. Please be on time in order to get attendance credit, especially as we may adjourn slightly earlier than the official time.  Thanks for all your hard work!  And thanks for whatever you've shared with me and others in the class this semester.  As always, I have learned from you, too.     4. (If you want to bring a paper to my house up until midnight of the day of our Final, see below. ---           "PART 3" Turning in a Paper at My House,      by Mail, or by Email (7-'13)     To turn in a paper at my house 24/7, see the directions to my house in www.RichardJewell.net/contact.htm .  You should copy the instructions instead of relying on GPS because there are many and one-way and dead-end streets around my house.  You may buzz my own condo 11 am-10 pm; at other times, please go next door (to 400 Groveland Ave.), where my condo association has a 24/7 security office right in front, leave the paper with the security person in the front office, and then email me that it is there (because the security people usually don't tell me when someone has dropped off a paper for me). To turn in a paper by mailing it, beware of how long it may take.  Usually it will get to me within 1-3 days, but one person regularly sent me her papers from her suburb, and each time the paper would take 10-13 days to arrive.  If you need to be extra sure, send it by 1-day delivery--which costs about $11-12.  Then it will take 1-2 days to get to me.  To turn in a paper by email, first you should know that I prefer you to turn in most papers at school simply because papers given to me at school are easier and faster for me to grade.  However, if you need to send me a paper online--like during a weekend or holiday or when you've missed class--you can do it by email.  However, you must follow these specific instructions: A. ARE YOU REVISING?  GIVE ME, AT SCHOOL, THE OLD COVER SHEETS WITH NO X'S ON THEM, YET: If you are doing this with an old Draft 1, 2, 3, or 4--which you are revising/fixing to get your X's on it--then you must (1) FIRST hand me an extra copy of the old cover sheets AT SCHOOL (2) and hand me the old paper, as well, AT SCHOOL:  This is because I need to see my written comments on both the old cover sheet and the old paper.  (If I didn't write any comments on the old paper, you may simply tell me that in a note.)  (3) Give it to me with a note saying you'll send the paper later by email attachment. OR B. ARE YOU DOING A NEW, FIRST-TIME DRAFT?  GIVE ME, AT SCHOOL, THE NEW, FIRST-TIME COVER SHEETS AND THE OLD COVER SHEETS. If you are doing this with a first-time Draft 2, 3, or 4 (one that you're turning in for the first time as a new draft), then you must (1) FIRST hand me the new cover sheets AT SCHOOL: (2) Be sure your name, type of paper, and all the other blank lines are filled in!!!  (3) SECOND, hand me the previous draft's cover sheets AT SCHOOL.  This is so I can see the X's I gave you on that old cover sheet.   Put this under the new cover sheet. (4) Give it to me with a note saying you'll send the paper later by email attachment. AND THEN C. SEND YOUR PAPER BY EMAIL. Then send the paper by email attachment: (1) Do NOT send the bibliography as a separate attachment; rather, copy it into the end of your paper, as is proper, so you are sending me only one attachment for your paper.  (2) And in the email, tell me:  - (a.) who you are (if your email address doesn't use your first and last name),  - (b.)  which class and section you are in (please remind me because even though I know you by name, I sometimes have trouble remembering which of my 2-3 writing classes and sections/times you are in--and I need to be able to go to your records quickly and easily), and  - (c.)  which type of paper you are trying to do (e.g., "new draft 2-a," "revision of draft 3-b," etc.). NOTE: If you do not give me all of the info above, I may be unable to grade your paper until I get more information from you.  Also, please  remember that I check email only once a day, Mon.-Sat.  If you send something to me by 10 am Mon.-Sat.,  I almost always will see it that same day.  Also remember also that even if you send me a paper by 10 am on a day when I am teaching on campus, I won't have time to grade your paper before coming to campus.  The common expected time by which professors normally finish grading papers is one week.  I try to do it in less, if possible, but I almost never can do it in just one day.  - End of the "Schedule" Page - Return to top.
