Yesterday,
you discussed the maps that classmates created. These projects demonstrated writer
biases (All teams but Riders suck), stereotypes (all Albertans have money),
and, in some cases, a lack of knowledge (locations mislabeled or languages left
out of the equation).
Over
the course of the next week, you are going to do (1) a formative assignment
relating to views on Canada,(2) a housekeeping assignment that you might have
already completed in earlier years, and (3) a grammar/mechanics assignment so I can
determine CLASS errors or weakness.
Today, I gave you the first assignment which is a paragraph. It will be due on Friday, September 12. I also gave you a sheet on how to write a paragraph and a sheet on entitled "Computer Usage Steps." All of these are linked below.
I also gave you a blue booklet entitled "MLA Citation Booklet" which I cannot link here. If you were absent, a copy of it (and the rest of the sheets) will be in your portfolio.
