Hello people,
You were all here today - yahoo! So, just to recap, we covered some grammar about pronouns and antecedents, and I will no longer need to write "Who?" next to your "theys". We practiced using the "axe" to cleave your sentences into works of clarity and perfection. Further, we discussed the overuse of "that"; "very"; "really"; "thing", and "stuff". Then we began to review the questions on Joan Didion's essay, and you were assigned some exciting homework.
Homework: Write an articulate, intelligent, erudite (what does that mean?) journal response (max 2 pages) to the following: Identify the purpose, audience, tone, and essential argument Didion is making. How do "journals" differ from "notebooks" as suggested by Didion? How might a journal enhance your learning in this course?
Have a lovely weekend!
