OK. I am seeing why some of you have been confused lately. Since late last week, I have been blogging to my old (REALLY old) blog, and of course nothing has shown up on the correct one. I have cut-and-pasted Thursday's and Sunday night's below. I'll cut-and paste the one I just wrote to correct spot for a new entry momentarily. I am so sorry. Last week was simply techno-FAIL on all counts.
THIS WAS THURSDAY'S POST (Feb. 3)
First, my apologies to 1st period, who had to struggle with my epic fail at every stage of technology. I eventually found a way to post the scan from Picasa straight to the blog, and after fourteen or so tries, I managed to print that segment vs. the whole blog page (sidebars and all). So 3rd and 6th had a hand-out (albeit imperfectly formatted). You will get that copy tomorrow in class just to make it official.
Meanwhile, you will receive a hand-out in class tomorrow with new scheduling information and other details for both Frankenstein and the essay. I'll probably link it to GoogleDocs tomorrow (or very late tonight), but it shouldn't be your concern tonight.
THIS WAS SUNDAY EVENING'S POST (Feb. 6)
Hi, everyone--
So I'm just catching up with fact Tyler's service is tomorrow, and of course I realize that many of you won't be in class. Go ahead and get your paper into turnitin.com (2nd draft folder), but that's going to be open until 11:59 p.m. Monday night, not the shortly-after-class times mentioned on the assignment sheet.
The 2nd draft next step is individual--not peer response. There will be a short list of things to focus on, but they're going to take some explaining/illustration . . . and I'm not sure that tomorrow is going to work out for doing that. We'll probably get started, but also bring the Frankenstein text for sure.
TONIGHT: You should either read, or start making adjustments to your essay based on today's work. It's up to you, but there should be progress one direction or the other.
For those who were unable to have a completed draft today, please do your best for tomorrow. Have someone work with it in class, hopefully as an exchange vs an extra (people who've done one already deserve the time to read/work on the Fr. material). I've extended turnitin.com for the First Draft until tomorrow night.
