Dear ENG W350 Class:
In my exuberance to greet you and to begin negotiating our own understandings of "rhetoric" and "discourse", I neglected to tell you two important things at the end of today's class:
1) In a few moments, you will be receiving an invitation to our course weblog, via e-mail. Simply follow the link in the e-mail invitation to get signed on to our W350 blog. Feel free to let me know if you have trouble signing on to the blog.
2) I would like you to prepare a "Goals" letter for Thursday. Write me a letter in which you tell me what kinds of expertise you would like to gain this semester -- or what kinds of capacities you would like to cultivate -- but it should be a letter that you wouldn't mind sharing with an audience of 1 or 2 other people in the class. Your letter will not be graded, but it should be genuine and authentic, i.e., please do not write to what you think are my expectations. As well, it should effectively communicate to me while also accommodating this other audience of your peers. Please bring the letter to class, typed and in hard copy on Thursday.
Finally, please remember to e-mail me your first and second choices for the "Reading Leading" assignment by Thursday.
Thank you for an enjoyable first day,
-Professor Graban
