As Advanced Composition draws to an end, reflect back upon your time in the class. What words of advice would you give the next group of students who are coming into this class? What does it take to be successful in this classroom and what kind of attributes does a successful student have?
Try to close with a favorite portion of the class. Was it a favorite reading, a favorite discussion, a favorite activity?
150-200 words.
Due: FRIDAY, MARCH 14th. :)
On this blog site, you will be completing your reader response assignments. You will have 2-3 a week. Your information is safe; only the members of this class and I have access to this site. Do not pass out your log-in information.
Respond critically to each piece. You may also respond to your classmates' comments.
Make sure your comments are proper, respectful, polite, and meet the word count assigned with the article.
Have fun! :)

Think about your future. Explain how writing will be important to your life. Explain what types of writing you will be responsible for, and how important it will be for you to show proficiency. Will you be typing essays for college, e-mails for an employer, flyers for your own garage sale? Think realistically! :)
