Assignment #14

In class on Friday, I'll hand out a set of quotations from various sources. They are meant to produce a paragraph on recruiting in sports.

Look at each quotation and write two or three sentences on each one. Would you use it in the paragraph? Why or why not? Would you paraphrase, summarize, or quote the passage? Why?

Please identify each passage by its author.

Blog Assignment #13

Post a paragraph or two about the topic you have chosen for your research project? (Come on. Aren't you curious about what other class members are writing about?)

Try to state your point of view/ thesis on the topic, what specific aspects of it you are going to discuss, and how you are going to handle the argument. What are your main argumentative points? What counterclaims do you need to refute?
