Class October 6

Today's class was focused on  thinking about ideas for your next essay.  Your first essays were awesome.  You have a lot of good material, and you are definitely writing into the features that define the genre.  Keep going!  The draft for the second "I" essay is due next Thursday.  I am looking forward to reading your next piece.
