Good evening,
Browsing through your first reading log posts, I am curious about how you feel about blogging what you just read. Have you done this before? Let's chat a little bit when we meet in class tomorrow!
Also, remember that it will be your turn to share some thing in class. It can be a short prose or a quote that contains a meaningful message of life, a piece of news you read online that arouses your eagerness to express your thoughts and ideas, or one statement of your book reading that really resonates with your mind.
Then I'll give a presentation on why story reading is so important that it benefits our life and learning to a very broad and deep extent.
Since your first essay will be a descriptive essay, we'll read another sample (this time a description of a person) together, which may give you more ideas about what to describe about. And this won't bother your first outline, for ideas evolve and change very often.
Then we will begin our lessons on thesis statement, topic sentence, essay map, all necessary ingredients in your essay and body paragraphs. Please bear with me, for the practice list is a bit long.
Finally, I hope you don't sit up too late to blog your post!
ps. 1. Please bring the book you are reading to class. 2. Since you'll have to have a fixed seat, I am thinking having you sit with your potential group members (with 1.5m from each other). 3. According to our syllabus, we'll discuss your outline for your descriptive essay with your peers if time allows.
See you all soon!
