Homework

➤ Begin Essay 2

Write the beginning of Essay 2. Imagine you’re giving a TED talk to the audience we imagined together in class. Remember: “Describe it before you comment on it.” Print out your beginning and be ready to read it aloud to us next class.

You can write more than the beginning if you wish. Write as much as you want. I’ll collect what you have on Thursday and give you some quick, general feedback on it as soon as I am able.

➤ Bring Keys for Writers to class

It’s important. We’ll need it for a class activity. Also bring the Alison Mackey article, “Wanting it Enough.”
