We looked at the introductory matter. Look over Chapter 1, "Writing as Literature" so that you will know what's there; much of it is useful as reference material, but it's not exactly geared toward cohesive reading.

FOR TOMORROW
Just the essay draft. Most of you saw yesterday's post; if you did not, be sure to check the blog! You have to have a printed-out draft to participate, and you need to have it on turnitin.com by the start of school.
Come to class prepared to provide and receive writers' workshop feedback!
