As I mentioned last class period, I am away at an academic conference. In order to receive credit for coming to class today, you need to complete the following before 5pm Wednesday evening.

1. Freewrite for 10 minutes or 500 words on your blog, about possible paper topics.

2. Read each other's blogs and comment on their possible paper topics, telling them what you thing looks the most interesting.

3. Read chapter eight, "the exploratory essay" including the essays. Tell me what you think of the included essays in the comments link below this post. Be expansive, don't just write, "it was ok."

4. Post a rough outline of your next paper to your weblog

5. Extra credit: figure out how to put an image in a weblog entry. Then do so. And tell the class how you did it.
