We'll actually write the paragraph in class on Wednesday, January 18, so you need only bring detailed notes to class. In the meantime, observe your environment. Look around. Take some notes.
Define and describe a problem here at Ohio Wesleyan. Start with a topic sentence that defines the problem. Then describe the problem in more detail in subsequent sentences. Finally, give a detailed example of the problem. Use the details to illuminate the description above.
Write a well developed paragraph that follows the basic downshifting pattern we will discuss in class. Sometime over the weekend, post your paragraph to the blog as a "comment" to this assignment. Also, BRING THE PARAGRAPH TO CLASS on Friday so we can spend some time in class editing it.
We will follow that basic pattern on all the paragraphs you write during the first weeks on the semester:
Day 1: Draft the paragraph. Blog it ASAP.
Next class day: Edit the previous paragraph and draft a the next one.
