READ:
1. OU Chapters 1, 2 & 3
2. Peruse Hacker's Glossary of Usage per Costal's instructions
WRITE:
1. Instead of answering the questions explicitly this time, I am providing them to help you guide your reading. Instead you will write a journal for each chapter. (Journal #1, 2 & 3). Use the study guide questions as a guide. You may focus on one or several questions per chapter. Just be sure your journal addresses an answer (or answers) to the provided questions. Remember that journals may or may not be typed. They must be at least one page each. They may or may not be turned in on Tuesday.
2. Essay #1: So much of what's important in OU deals with a "sense of place." Clarkstown is a uniquely drawn tapestry of diversity, tension and hope. For your first essay, I want you to describe your hometown. Be specific. Use concrete details. Be vivid. Describe the people, the "feeling" as well as the physical description of your town. You may focus on one aspect if that aspect stands out to you most (for example, Jasmine may want to focus on the river, or Tim may want to focus on the "Perth"). Use sensory words that bring to life more than visuals, but also smells and sounds and tastes. Follow the parameters in the syllabus. Should be approx. 2 pages.
