APELC Class Notes
Objectives: APELCers processed a personal essay.
First and third APELCers, we began reviewing your first timed-writing revisions and narration reflections. I was pleased to see how hard everyone worked to make the grade. Some still have a ways to go before they’ll be comfortable, and those that are already comfortable shouldn’t remain so as we’ve much to do before the year’s over.
We processed the Tan piece and discussed your own narration drafts due next class. Remember that you should at least two pages drafted, and you’ll need to print and bring the peer response documents I noted with the assignment details.
Come tomorrow to pick-up timed-writing 2 and to sign-up for a conference; I’ll post the schedule at 2:30 after school.
BY THE WAY. Have you heard the latest from Sudan? Did you know that the genocide in Sudan has been raging for six and half years now? And did you know that the (ongoing) mass-killing and rape of men, women, and children in Darfur is the third conflict of its type in the last fifteen years? See the Online NewHour’s page on the Darfur Crisis for more, or, even better, investigate opportunities to help at Save Darfur and Stop Genocide Now.
