In class today you worked on your reflective writing for your response essays, and you got started on your portfolios.
Make sure that you have invited me to view your portfolio so I can read + give a grade to your "best" response essay. Be sure that your reflective writing stated the grade you would give to your essay. If I give the same grade to your essay - you get an extra 5 points.
For Thursday:
Read: Brunvand, "Urban Legends: 'The Boyfriend's Death'" page 128 in your text book. As you read this essay - think about the following questions: what is folklore? What are urban legends? What do urban legends 'do'? How can you identify urban legends (what are their features or characteristics)?
Write: work on your portfolio. Your complete portfolio will be due Tuesday, October 13. For Thursday - just make sure that you have posted both response essays, your "best" response essay (choose the one for me to grade) and your reflective writing about what you have learned and how you would evaluate the essays you have turned in.
In class Thursday we will spend the first half talking about urban legends - and the second half you will have some more time to work on your portfolio or revising the essay of your choice.
See you Thursday.
