- Started classes with some writing expectations. Be careful of the following in ANY writing done for class:
- i (This one causes me great pain. Any paper with i for I will be handed back and considered not done.
- wanna, gonna, kinda, sorta...
- "should of", "would of" and "could of" which, of course should be "should've", "would've" and "could've."
- We'll be addressing more "sins of convention" as they come
- We discussed the importance of leaving your name at visited colleges, looking for the right college, and what is meant by "reach school," "target school," and "safety school."
- Mentioned that students should be setting up their profile at the Common Application website.
- Worked on the first essay by Prof. Jewkes: reviewed the article, wrote a brief response and shared responses with teammates. Teams shared out to the group.
- Important concepts: "innocence" and "archetype." More tomorrow.
- First essay due tomorrow.
