MODULE:
Reflections on EOF.
In a thoughtful but brief essay, perhaps a page, please share your reflections on the EOF program as your experience concludes. What did you learn about yourself during these five weeks? What might you have done differently if you were to start over? What changes would you like to see in the program for next year? What else would you like to say about the program?
You may speak candidly, but remember you are creating a written record. Anything you wouldn’t want repeated you might want to omit.
I will do two things with these essays:
1. Offer a grade based, as always, on both content and presentation.
2. Give a copy to the EOF Director.
Remember audience as you write. As always, I want concrete detail.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Study for final quiz
2. Choose one journal from your notes that you particularly liked. Clean it up, type it and turn it in tomorrow. Try to make sure it reflects what you've learned this summer.

July 22nd Assignments -- The heat is on now, knuckleheads!
MODULE: 1. Half hour prep with Costal
2. Tim will lead you through the wonderful world of researching online at Stockton.
Evening: Work on having your research proposal ready for tomorrow. Think about your topic. Work on turning it into a thesis. Research with Tim. Outline and take notes on your topic. Very, very, very, very helpful is this sample from our friend Diana Hacker which gives you a very easy, fundamental (haha...Jim) view of a good, collegiate research paper.

July 21st Assignment
MODULE: Complete peer edit and retype paper #2
READ: 1. In your Rules for Writers, read and study sections 52-56, on Writing MLA Papers, pages 411 – 475. Pay special attention to: supporting a thesis, avoiding plagiarism, integrating sources, documenting sources, the sample paper (467-475) and take note of the margin comments that explain what the writer is doing well.
2. BWLOW Chapter 4
3. Check out the passage on Latino Identity by author Ruben Martinez. This will come in handy later...believe me!
WRITE: As Journal #7: Throughout the novel, Spanish words and phrases appear unaccompanied by their English translations. What is the effect of this seamless blending of Spanish and English? How would the novel have been different if Díaz had stopped to provide English translations at every turn? Why does Díaz not italicize the Spanish words (the way foreign words are usually italicized in English-language text)?
