Kate Dougherty: through Week 6

During Week 6, students worked on a six-page assignment that expresses their personal connections to their inquiries.

Week 6 was a strange week -- lots of students and instructors were out sick, and that was true for my class, too. I only had six students on both Monday and Wednesday; five of those six were the same students each day. We took advantage of the extra time and had a long conversation about each student's topic and how the topics connect to one another. This group felt much more confident in the six-page assignment than students in previous semesters. I'll try to give the class more time to have conversations like these in future semesters. (It's usually something I build into Writing and Rhetoric I more than II.)
