Next Step: Exploring Topics

Date August 27, 2007

We haven’t committed to a topic yet. We are still just exploring with the first two assignments we have this week in Module I. I posted two articles that I think will challenge you to think about our personal freedoms and how they are currently being affected. You will need to read those and then write short summaries for both. Read the online presentation about Writing Summaries to help you refresh your memory about summarizing. It’s really an easy assignment.

I talk more about these Module I assignments in today’s class. I also talk a little about argumentative essays and the BIG picture. There is also a podcasts.
