I am old. I walk with a cane. I carry candy in my purse. I wear too much makeup. I can not drive. I like to talk to people. I enjoy telling people stories. I have gained a lot of knowledge. I am wiser than you. I get up early. I like to watch birds.
As the class blog for EN 110 (Section E4QMD) at Queens College, you will be required to post here a response of approximately 250-500 words, as well as a one or two paragraph comment on a classmate’s earlier response, once per week.These will be due by ten a.m. on the due date (generally Wednesday), and are critical to your grade.We will use them to generate our in-class discussion, and they will also make up a portion of your participation for the course. This cannot be stressed enough--if posts are not here by ten a.m., this portion of your grade will suffer.
More importantly, use this space for writing about the readings for the course, the class discussions, and for commenting on one another's responses. While formality is not overemphasized here, be sure to be as clear (spell as you might on a paper and not as you might on a phone) and intelligent as you can manage, and be specific about the texts you are writing about (that is, quote them). Also, when writing about another student's response, be respectful but also thoughtful ('Kelly was totally right!' is less useful than what Kelly's comment make you think).
