Assignment for Monday, Oct. 25

Hey Everyone,

Just so you're all clear, I'm posting your assignment on each of the blogs, including my own:

The assignment for Monday, the 25th is to read the short essays by David Sedaris (I gave these out in class last Monday), and post a blog comment in response to your team member's post. So for instance, in group 2 -- Jason is supposed to make a post in response to the Sedaris pieces by tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. Everyone else will have to go on and read his post and then make their own comment.

The questions I asked all of you to consider as you read the Sedaris pieces are: Is his piece more like Hughe's or Tan's in terms of style? Do you see him making any arguments implicitly or explicitly and if so, where? Where in the text (point to specific passages) do you see him making an argument?

Remember to read closely, underline passages or lines that stand out for you as being significant in anyway, and don't be afrait to record your thoughts in the margins of the text.

I hope this makes sense.
