Welcome to a new semester and a fresh start!
We will be focusing a great deal on the skill of close reading and how that ties in to better elaboration in academic writing and discussions.
It is also Poetry Out Loud time--the local contest is Feb. 14th. If you wish to compete, for the love of poetry or for the love of extra credit, see me ASAP, or read the directions on your first major assignment (posted here at the left). Recitations in class begin Feb. 13th.
