Vocabulary Help!

If you're interested in exploring options to help you improve your vocabulary, check out the link to the following site: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/vocabulary.htm. Read the tips they offer and explore some of the resources they suggest. Also, check out the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) Word of the Day. I've posted a link in my Extra Resources section.

Narrative Essay Samples

For those of you who have expressed interest in seeing some more samples of narrative essays, you can follow the link below. However, keep in mind that none of these will be exactly like the one I assigned. With this essay in particular, I would like you to be open to exploring your creativity and working to find your own voice in your writing. There will be plenty of time to practice with more formal and formulaic writing in the future!

Hi everyone,

I've posted the syllabus on Blackboard. I will also be uploading other necessary documents throughout the semester. Occasionally, I will also put presentations/documents on the blog for you to view, as well. Make sure to visit the Extra Resources section for help in grammar and other areas.

Use this blog as a tool to help you in this class.

I'm looking forward to a great semester with you!
