While I am away

ENG 107/Glascott

On-Line Class October 12

We won’t be meeting in person on Wednesday, October 12. Instead, we will have an “on-line class.” There are two parts to the class, which is focused on informational literacy. Here are the three tasks you have for Wednesday:

1. Take the OLLIE Tutorial and Test. Sign onto Blackboard and select the OLLIE Text button. Follow the prompts.

2. Find either a review of or a journal article about one of these texts:

a. Annie Dillard’s “Seeing”

b. Susan Sontag’s Regarding the Pain of Others

c. John Berger’s Ways of Seeing

3. . Read this review or article.

4. Write a summary of the review or article and post it on the Discussion Board on our Blackboard site. As part of your summary you should include a full bibliographic citation using MLA. The summary itself should be “meaty” enough to give people who haven’t read the review/article a good sense of what it says. Finally, write a brief analysis explaining whether you agree with the writer’s take on Dillard, Sontag, or Berger and why or why not. Do you think your colleagues should read the piece you read? Why or why not?
