Hello, everyone,
Just a reminder that we have our midterm exam tomorrow. We will be meeting in a computer lab in K427 for the duration of the exam. Please check back for details.
Remember, I will not see you on Tuesday (March 31). You will be meeting in K109/K115 (The Writing Center) for 2 workshops. Attendance will be taken before each session, so please plan to be in attendance for both.

REVISED ESSAY 2
Hello all,
There was some confusion about the writing prompt you are working on. Based on our discussion on Tuesday, I modified it to apply to others as well. You have the liberty of discussing either your own experience or your observations of others' behaviors.
Remember, this essay is based on Staples's essay, so use his experience and his text to reflect on your own (or others') lives and experience. How does he prove his thesis using examples? What language and techniques does he use to be successful in establishing his point?
Feel free to email me with questions, but leave time for me to respond.
Discuss ways in which you (or others) modify your behavior based on others' expectations of you.
Your essay should include:
DUE THURSDAY
