To Be, or Not to Be~

My Dear Dearest Class,

We've moved on from descriptive writing to analytic writing. Last week we had our first try with "The Lyric I Hate." This week, we shall work our analytic writing into the structure of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. Please write an article in either one paragraph or three paragraphs entitled "To __, or Not to ___." When you write, please keep in mind the two requirements to meet: 1) the writing has be to analytic; 2) the structure must be thesis-antithesis-synthesis.

Next week, we shall begin our class meeting with Chapter 2: Supporting Topic Sentences: Examples, Details, Anecdotes, Facts and Statistics (mainly pp. 23-24; p. 34; We covered pp. 31-32 in class today).

Homework for the Week

This is to remind you of the homework assignments for this week:

1. One paragraph of descriptive writing on your hero. Remember: no names, no places, no nationalities...and you have only 5 sentences to finish the profile of your hero.
2. Log in and leave both your Chinese name and your English name under "來者何人！？."
3. Read and finish all exercises in: (a) "TOPIC VERSUS TOPIC SENTENCE," "Now Ask Yourself," and "EXERCISE1-1" (pp. 3-6); (b) "PARAGRAPH UNITY" and "Now Ask Yourself" (pp. 8-12).

來者何人!?

各位，我做了一件很蠢的事：我小心翼翼地記下所有人的名字，然後小心翼翼地把名單夾到書裏面，然後...書忘了帶回家XD！

還好，Spe會在Facebook上cue大家；還好，我跟大家提了在此處留下姓名。

記得呀，按下下方"comments"，即可留言。

＊ 我已經打電話到文鶴了，他們會給大家折扣（我忘了問幾折），請直接找一位盧先生(Luc)，說要買師大英語系中級寫作的課本Paragraph Development。剛剛碰到了Spe，她好像說會幫大家拿吧！總之，就請大家搞定囉！
