We're going to step away from analytic writing for a day, and look at the reading strategies we'll be practicing with this trimester.
A couple of house-keeping notes:
1. When sending me an assignment, always use the PowerPoint title as the subject line for your email. I will NOT open email that comes without a subject line.
2. All work should be done in Word and sent as an attachment.
3. The classwork grading policy as well as the assessment dates are now on the website. Take a minute to read it.
4. By now, you should have a Gmail account set up.
Today we're going to begin looking at active reading strategies. To begin, please post a comment to this blog that explains how you currently deal with difficult text.
