1. Get ready to write.
- Part I - use the quotation about writing as the focus of your introduction. Why does this quotation relate to you as a writer? Does it relate to other writers? Is is always true? Is is sometimes true? Do you like this feature of writing?
- Part II - Tell about an experience or two you had with writing. What do you write? When do you write? Describe the experience in detail. Was there conversation regarding the writing? Did others like your writing? What did you do with the writing? What did you learn about yourself as a writer because of this experience.
- Part III - Wrap it up. Based on your background, what do you hope to learn as a writer in this class? With what do you need help? What are your strengths? What can you contribute to help others?
- Part IV - End with another quotation about writing. This can be a statement of your own; a quotation from a friend, family member, or classmate; or another quotation from a quotation book or web site.
2. Include a Works Cited page - MLA format - use EasyBib. This is an on-line site designed to put your information into the correct format. You will need to sign in. A real name is not required; however, you must provide a real e-mail address. The site will save your citations if you push the right buttons. Watch and see. Sign in on your own.
3. Begin to discuss body art - see "Jerry Richardson Doesn't Want
Cam Newton To Get Any Tattoos" posted on Yahoo yesterday . . . a paper copy is provided for your use.
What do you think - should Cam Newton be able to get a tattoo if he wishes? Is this fair? Explain.
