Happy Memories!

Here is a photo taken at the class barbeque, held at Nancy's place during the break. Everyone had so much fun and I have read many wonderful postings on the class blogs. I am sorry I missed it. Thanks Nancy!

The Home Stretch!!

I hope everyone had a good restful break and that you are energized for the last hectic weeks of the semester. This was the last day of our trip to Halifax Nova Scotia. Imagine our surprise when we were hit with a snow-storm!!

Can you believe that the semester is almost over? Before you know it, you will be studying for finals. No doubt, some of you have already started working of final projects for some of your classes.

In writing class, this is the time in the semester when you should be looking at your work with a critical eye and looking for ways to improve your writing. By now, you know the errors that you most commonly make and you should have proof-reading strategies in place to help you self-correct. Writing outlines and draft copies should be the norm, rather than the exception. You should also be exploring different rhetorical patterns for introductions and conclusions.

With our (Blogs) all students should have at least nine blog entries by April 10th. Remember, informal writing is as much a part of the coursework as your formal writing assignments are.

I look forward to seeing photos and hearing stories of the BBQ at Nancy's! I hope you all had a wonderful time.

See you in class!
