Activites and due dates, weeks 1-2

Tu, 8/24: Introduction
Th, 8/26: Morrison, "The Dancing Mind" (handed out in class; also sent over email as a .PDF); annotation exercise (in class)
By Su, 8/29 at midnight: blog post #1 (This time, all you have to do is leave a comment with your name somewhere in it, so I can see you that are able to access and leave messages on the blog.)

Tu, 8/31: Douglass, "Learning to Read and Write" (in Fields of Reading); sentence clarity exercises (in class)
-- Reading assignment: As you read the Douglass essay, I'd like you to note (in writing, on the page, if possible) which experiences Douglass describes in detail, and which he passes over quickly. Think: how is the essay structured, and why does he choose to structure it that way? What response or effect is he trying to achieve through the use of more or less detail? 
Th, 9/2: Hampl, "The Dark Art of Description" (Fields)
By Su, 9/5 at midnight: blog post #2 (Short, informal response to my post.)
