September 9 - Paraphrasing, Response, "Meaningfulness of Lives"

Any questions, comments, concerns?
New Word
What is paraphrasing?
What is a response?

  1. A response includes the title and author or whatever writing you are responding to.
  2. What (meanings, values, etc.) was the author trying to promote? This could be a short paraphrase.  You may want to include a quotation or two.
  3. What is my personal position relative to the author's?  Are there any ideas that remind you of a specific experience that you have had?
  4. How has reading and reflecting on this affected my lived world experience?
  5. What other questions were brought to mind?

In-class writing: Respond to the article "Meaningfulness of Lives."  What are your thoughts about what May discusses and brings up?  Follow the 5 points that a response should meet.


Looking forward:
Wednesday, September 11

Listen to: “This I Believe”
Read College Writing Skills, ch 45.  Write a list of concepts that are new ideas so we can discuss them in more depth in class.  Complete activities 1, 4, 6 and 8.
