No blog response during spring break.
Just make sure you're caught up on your readings (it'd be a great idea to finish TIB before you return from break).
Also, continue thinking about your two Paper #3 topics.
Have a good spring break!

Post #10 & Reminders
For your new blog post, pick an essay from your new reading passages in TIB. Explain what your personal response is to the essay and explain what makes the essay effective.
Reminders:
--> Don't forget that there will not be English class on Tuesday because I will be at a conference. Sarah will be holding walk-in hours at the Tutoring Center 10:30-12:30 that morning in case you want to run your paper revision by her.
--> Remember to have your final drafts of Paper #2--with your original graded essay attached--ready to turn in on Thursday. Before you come to class, make sure everything you changed has been highlighted on your final draft.
--> Also, don't forget that your ESP Check-in #3 is due in English class on Thursday, 3/25. Here are the guidelines:
ESP Check-in #3
1. How will math affect you later in life? In your household? Interacting with others? At work?
2. Same question about English.
3. You have about 7 weeks left to get the most out of these two classes. What changes can you make to do so? Be as specific as possible. Keep in mind that even if you have been keeping up with all the work, there is always more that you can do to maximize what you get out of the next several weeks. For example, if you haven't been using the Writing Center, you can make an appointment and see them with your Paper #2 revision assignment. Also, only mention changes that you are willing to make.
Due: At our next class meeting
