Reading for Week of 10-6 to 10-13

First, your primary homework for the current week is to revise, edit and proofread your draft of the "Reefer Madness" argument paper.

Keep in mind that you're writing to evaluate Schlosser's use of persuasive techniques and how he presents his argument. Each body paragraph should have an idea (you making a point of your own about how effective Schlosser is) and material from the text that you're analyzing. If this doesn't make sense, email me asap.

Also, here's a handy Proofreading Tips Sheet that you can use when you're ready.

For this week, also read the conclusion "Out of the Underground" in Schlosser. If you have the extra afterword, please read that too, but if you're pressed for time, you can save it for next week.

Keep in mind to do some Reading Plus and Learning Curve work this week: one exercise on LC and 5 from RP. If you're still having difficulty, email me.

Good luck with your drafts! Keep in mind there's a free tutoring service on Ocean campus on the 2nd floor of Rosenburg Library. R205. Faculty and ace students are standing by to read YOUR draft and give you feedback. Check it out!
