From now until Friday, you will need to complete your RA second draft. This does need to be a full 4-6 pages, so make sure you expand on analysis and add paragraphs as needed. On Friday, make sure to bring 2 copies of your rough draft for your peers to review over the holiday weekend. For the two groups I emailed just barely (Will Caryn Ben Aaron Nello Kari), make sure to email your drafts to each other.
See how great I am that I'm only making you read two drafts, and I'm giving you the long weekend to do it? Y'all should be bringing ME candy.
Also, make sure you comment on your peers' blogs. I'll pass around a paper on Friday that you can check off for commenting on this and last week's blog posts.
I am going sponsor a contest, so we'll vote on maybe the top three similes. I'll pick one of each of your similes (my favorite), and you guys will vote on it during class. Then Tuesday, I'll announce the winner, and there may or may not be prizes involved.
You probably saw this on Facebook (it was going around), but if not, this is for your pleasure:
And here are some quotes from Alexander Smith, also for your pleasure:
"He loves ruin like the ivy, he skims the twilight like the bat, he makes himself a familiar of the phantoms of the heart and brain. He is fascinated by the jarred brain and the ruined heart."
"The sky is clear, and an arm of bleak pink vapour stretches up into its depths. The air is cold with frost, and the rain which those dark clouds in the east hold will fall during the night in silent, feathery flakes. When I wake tomorrow, the world will be changed, frosty forests will cover my bedroom panes, the tree branches will be furred with snows; and to the crumbs which it is my daily custom to sprinkle on the shrubbery walk will come the lineal descent of the charitable redbreast that covered up with leaves the sleeping children in the woods."
"If a man is worth knowing at all, he is worth knowing well."
Love!
