I remember you told us to bring our annotated bibliographies, but are we also supposed to have a rough draft of an outline and supporting quotes?

Nothing was collected - I will collect Reading Logs, 12 tests of an arguable issue, and Issue Proposals on Monday. Remember that Toulmin #2 and the optional extra credit are due tomorrow. Also, review chapter 8 (Fallacies) for a possible quick quiz tomorrow. Hi Sarah,

]]> Comment on Duncan Robinson Essay Contest by P. Davis http://piperdavis.edublogs.org/2007/02/15/duncan-robinson-essay-contest/comment-page-1/#comment-27 P. Davis Tue, 20 Feb 2007 16:59:33 +0000 http://piperdavis.edublogs.org/2007/02/15/duncan-robinson-essay-contest/#comment-27 I believe that the contest regulations mean that you CAN submit your Kite Runner Essay... but only IF you did not already submit it for the Kite Runner Essay Contest. Other than that limitation on the same essay being submitted twice, I think that they mean to accept any major essay assignments from either class. For example, many 1301 instructors assigned a LITERACY AUTOBIOGRAPHY and a SYNTHESIS ESSAY or READER-RESPONSE ESSAY. These would be good choices, as would any eligible Kite Runner Essay.

The only one I was aware of is for the Kite Runner, but this seems to be unassociated with it. ("Essays submitted to the fall 2007 Kite Runner essay contest are not eligible.") Submitting "an essay written in ENGL 1301 or 1302" is too ambiguous. What exactly the subject of the essay contest?
