Book Check Out Day



Today you will be issued The Language of Composition textbook.  It is your responsibility to bring your book with you every day to class.  I will periodically conduct random book checks for a daily grade.  Be prepared.

Today's Reading:

p. 473-476  "For Fasting and Football, a Dedicated Game Plan" by Samuel G. Freedman

Complete a "Rhetorical Analysis Assignment" page for this reading.

Quick Notes:


Underline or italicize titles of books, names of newspapers, magazines, movies, TV shows.
Underline when handwritten.
Italicize when typing.
Italics replace underlining; don’t use both.
Quotation marks used for shorter pieces: essays, speeches, newspaper articles, magazine articles, transcripts, short stories, poems, song titles, TV show episodes.

Refer to the writer as author, writer, speaker, poet.
Use his/her full name once; thereafter, refer to him/her by last name only or as author, writer, speaker, poet.  Never refer to author by first name only.
