Just Mine Now

You might need to set your paragraphs aside for a day before going back to revise.  If you have any questions about any of the comments on your draft, please ask.  Just make sure that I receive your new revisions by the end of the week. 

This article popped up recently.  Maybe it'll give you some insight into what is acceptable with grammar.  It's called " Most of What You Think You Know About Grammar is Wrong ."  Imagine an English teacher reading this! 

Nothing is due for "The Myth of the Latin Woman" Tuesday.  We'll start again with it then. The only thing due is the paragraph analyzing rhetorical strategies of the letter you received Friday.

A video worth watching:  Democracy Now , Rosa Parks describing what happened when she refused to give up her seat on the bus on Dec. 1, 1955, plus an interview with the author of a new book, who discusses Parks' life.  This one I'll be adding to my list to read once I finish what I am reading now ( Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn): The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks by Jeanne Theoharis.  How do I choose the books I read?  From recommendations of others or finding out about them like I have this one about Rosa Parks.
