Monday, November 18, 2013--9 pm

Hello,

a few things:

1. A re-cap of the immigration assignment due on Wednesday
--must be typed
--no name or section number anywhere on assignment
--title the assignment: Musings on Immigration
--brainstorm and record what comes to your mind when you think of the word "immigration"
--there is no length or format requirements
--this counts for 25 of the 50 points for Group Ex. 4
--there will be a sign-up sheet on the front table on Wednesday. Please be sure you sign that sheet when you hand the assignment in.

2. Wednesday will also be our last In Class Writing Response for the semester.

3. Reminder: optional rough drafts for out of class essay 2 are due no later than midnight on Monday, November 25th. You may, of course, submit it earlier if you wish. Please email it to me as a Word document.

4. About the sample student writing that we read and discussed in class today. Please do not worry if there was a quote or support that appeared in one of the samples that you had planned to utilize in YOUR essay #3. Go ahead and use it! No worries.

5. Over the years, I have attempted to hold class on both the Monday and Wednesday of Thanksgiving week. In the beginning I was quite successful in at least holding class, with most students attending, on Monday. However, attendance gradually lessened. Consequently, there will be no class sessions held next week AT ALL. Both Monday and Wednesday classes are cancelled. I realize that all professors do not share my opinion, so I know you may have to attend OTHER classes on those days.
