Homework:
Completing the sentence Unit 10

Today:
We started a new prompt. When I have time, I will put up the assignment page. Basically, they read some information on Richard Petty, the NASCAR driver, and write the speech he would give to students in our school. As I see it, they have to take two things out of the text. They must figure out how to write like Richard Petty. Then they have to include the highlights from his life that are listed in the article. It is an interesting challenge. I think I will be focusing on voice and audience.

I am working on posting the recordings from the in class readings. I have made them into music files. Now I have to make the web page with the links.
