Just to remind you: Our midterm exam is taking place this Wednesday, 4/8. This exam will take the form of an in-class writing, similar in format to the diagnostic writing we did on the very first day. However, this time, I'll provide you with an article and ask you to use this article in writing your in-class essay, according to the assignment that I will also provide. To prepare, be sure you're able to look through articles and spot places where an author appeals to a specific audience in a clear, specific way. And be sure you know how to present these places in quoted passages, and to discuss what you see in them.
Also, remember that your critique in response to another classmate's Essay 2 first draft is due by the start of class this Wednesday, 4/8, too.
Make sure you're there. If you can't make it, try your best to be there anyway. But if you really can't make it, let me know ASAP, so that we can arrange for you to take a make-up midterm.
