Let me give you all of that.
First, don't forget that your first draft for Essay 1 is due Monday, 3/23. Please make sure to type up this draft and print it out. And definitely bring it with you to class on Monday. I'll check that you've done your work, then I'll assign you a critique partner to exchange drafts with. Remember the one thing I've asked you specifically about first drafts: Please, please make sure that your draft is finished. A first draft does not have to be brilliant. But it does have to be done and finished. I'd like everyone to have their first draft ready to hand in next week. Of course, if you're running into trouble, let me me know and I'll try to help.
Next, let me give you those two articles that I want you to read.
Here's the article, "We Must Stop Praying to Our iPhones: Dissent and Critical Thinking in the Internet Era," by W. Andrew Ewell:
And here's the article, "Why I Just Asked My Students to Put Their Laptops Away," by Clay Shirkey:
Be sure to read both of these articles before our first class next week. Be prepared to discuss them, too, and maybe even take a quiz. I'm not trying to scare you; I'm just saying that I can throw a pop quiz whenever I want. I mean, I might throw a quiz whenever, which doesn't mean that I will.
And that's it. If you've got questions or concerns, please email me.
See you next week!
