This exercises gives us a chance to get comfortable with each other. It also introduces our general method of working in this class, the way we're going to be looking at and reviewing texts; it opens up discussion, and gives you some practice at observing and note-taking, time to settle, get the textbook, and introduce the wiki.

It has a number of parts and lasts a few class days. I'll give it to you in sections so you can focus your attention on one aspect at a time.

Part 1: for Thurs

Write a short introduction of yourself to the class. This should not be one word less than 300 - and not one word more than 500. Try, in your manner, to illustrate or exemplify part of your personality. Write this as you would a typical writing assignment in a typical class, using whatever technologies you typically do. But the paper you bring to class should be word processed. Double-spaced, standard name block, etc. Bring it to class on Thursday in paper.

Part 2: The Writing

[to come]
