Introduce Essay 1
Homework
➤ Pick up feedback
After I’ve messaged your section, pick up my feedback on your observation / question paragraphs from my blue box in front of CC1062.
➤ Begin working on Essay 1
Read the instructions carefully and begin working on this essay, which is due W-Th Jan. 22-23 (printed, in class).
By next class (M-Tu) I’d suggest you aim to have finished reading your three sources and completed Step 1 and Step 2 of the essay.
➤ 3 speakers prepare 2-3 minute oral reports
If you’ve volunteered to speak next class, please be ready to explain what you’re going to say in your paper orally to us in 2-3 minutes. Don’t think of this as a formal speech or presentation — just talk to us in a natural, conversational manner.
After your “oral reports” I’ll give you feedback on your speaking and advice for how to improve your oral communication skills. Every student will do at least 3 of these “oral reports” in the coming weeks.
Section 1: Xiaobing, ???, ??? (message me if you’re interested!)
Section 2: Steven K., Letao, Holly
➤ Don’t forget about social scripts
We will hopefully talk about this next class, so don’t forget to bring your copy of the article and be ready to share another example of a “social script.”
