Today in class we did the following activities:
- Grammar: articles and prepositions
- Discussion of "Urdu My Love Song"
- Lecture on Working on Good Writing
- Listened to the two Poynter Podcasts (available here)
- Active voice/passive voice exercise
Your assignments are to:
- create your blog and write your self-introduction (section B)
- write the first draft of your personal narrative essay ("Answer the question Who Am I by narrating a scene or anecdote or story from your life that illustrates who you are and how you became to be who you are today"). Essay drafts must be 1000 words long, typed, double-spaced.
- Read "Urdu My Love Song" if you haven't read it already
- Complete the Active Voice/Passive Voice exercise and bring it to the next class.
I was disappointed to see how many students did not read "Urdu My Love Song" in preparation for the class. Preparation is a VITAL part of every class at SZABIST and I expect all students to take full responsibility in being adequately prepared for the class. It makes a huge difference in your class participation which will of course make a huge difference in your grade.
