Yesterday, you were led to believe (quite insidiously and adeptly I might add) you would be submitting your final research paper. BUT NO. Instead you were forced by your evil, avenging teacher to methodically plumb the depths of your paper to ensure compliance. Many of you caught huge mistakes, and some of you, on the other hand, were redeemed by the integrity of your work (nice going). Additionally, I told you that all the work we reviewed was included in the packet I had provided at the beginning of our research paper assignment. So what did you learn from this experience?
Post 1: Please relate your experience in reviewing and correcting your research paper. What will you take away from it? What will you change next time. How do you think you will change when you get to next year's English class?
Post 2: Please respond (with details) to the post of another students.
As always, posts must evidence authenticity, reflection and original thought. Please spend some time with this.(20 points)

Blog Assignment Eleven
This week we focused on the rhetorical elements of the novel All Quiet on the Western Front. You had an opportunity to divide into groups, focus on one, sometimes two elements, and then present your findings. At that time, I offered additional feedback to your comments to illustrate how an author uses rhetoric to convey the important themes of the work.
Post 1: Tell me why you think I had you do this exercise. What was the purpose. Did you have any revelations about, well, anything? How will your understandings change the way you approach literature?
Post 2: Please respond to another classmate's post.

Blog Assignment Ten
Last week we spent time dissecting the elements of the essay, with particular emphasis on the introduction and topic sentences. Many of you noted you had some breakthroughs, even epiphanies at this time. I want to hear about it.
Post 1: Tell me what you learned during this workshop. Please be specific: what you thought and what you know know. Please also tell me the next area you would like to turn our attentions.
