September 9, 2014

We went over common issues in Original Comp writing:

  • structural (sentence fragments and run-ons, especially comma splices)
  • mechanical (spelling, capitalization, punctuation)
  • tense changes
  • using 2nd person (you)
  • writing out of one's realm of experience
We then read a short story by Amy Tan: "Two Kinds," trying to determine whether the protagonist, June (Jing-Mei), is static/dynamic and coming up with three adjectives to describe her character.

We were interrupted somewhat today for photos.

Need the story?  Find it here: Two Kinds PDF text

Next class, be prepared to work on a character sketch of June (group work),
