GREETINGS!!!

Welcome to the blog for our English 100 course! This blog will have everything you need for this course: the syllabus, readings, handouts, assignment descriptions, and other wonderful resources.

WHAT TO DO HERE...

Each week you must reply to the blog for the week. It will be titled Week One, Week Two, and so on. At the end of the week(Sunday evening), I'll record who responded, so you won't be able to go back and make up your responses from previous weeks. Remember, the point is to begin to write as a habit...The best way to exercise this new habit is to overdo it. Don't just respond. Instead, respond, then wait, then respond to someone's response. Turn it into a dialogue. This is non-graded writing. But it still matters. Do too much. Be obnoxiously verbose!

ASSIGNMENT #1...THE BETTY AWARDS

With this first assignment, you have the chance to win real money!
How many English assignments possibly pay off with 100, 250, or 500 dollars? (be careful, the real answer is more complicated than you think)

So, here it is....Assignment #1 is to make an entry into the Betty Awards, established by a fabulous Religious Studies scholar named Stafford Betty.

Here's a link to the entry form:

Your assignment is to submit a poem to the above-named contest. We will work on this in class on Friday, and the poem will be due in class on Monday, 4/5. We will then talk about how to get the poem ready for submission.
