You worked in groups to write descriptive "summaries" of photographs of buildings from Kean University, and then your classmates read your descriptions - and drew what they saw. You noticed that for readers to interpret the descriptions, they needed information about the viewer's perspective as well as an indication the relative importance or location of the main objects in the image before they could interpret/understand the details. It's the same with writing summaries of texts! You need to set up the focus - and use an organization that orients the reader to the importance and relationships of the ideas in the text. We then spent a little time thinking about what the images said about how the work done in the different buildings is valued.
You did a great job on this exercise.
In the computer lab, you looked at the feedback you got on the Elbow essay - and used that information to work on revising the Murray essays.
For Tuesday:
Read: Salvation, by Langston Hughes, p 591 in your text
Write: Revised Murray => use track changes + turn in your revised essay by email before class on Tuesday.
Have a great weekend.
