Twain's "Carnival of Crime"

For Thursday, October 10, 2012, we are reading Mark Twain's "The Facts Concerning the Recent Carnival of Crime in Connecticut" and its graphic novel adaptation by Antonella Caputo and Nick Miller.  Read them, print them, and bring the hard copies to class.

On Thursday, October 11, 2012, we will devote time for mid-semester course evaluations. Because the online evaluation has a time limit, I have listed the questions below. 

I encourage you to type your answers ahead of time, email them to yourself, and copy and paste your answers into the text fields.  The sooner we finish the evaluations, the faster we can discuss Twain's "Carnival of Crime."  Of course, if you want to finish the evaluation early, you can complete it over this weekend.

Hammond's Thoughtful Writing

I have heard from many students that one of our required textbooks, Gene Hammond's Thoughtful Writing, was not available at the on-campus bookstore. Please confirm with the bookstore, or order a copy online. You will need the textbooks every day in class starting Tuesday, for in-class exercises and reading, and as a reference guide to assist with your essays. 

You can find copies of Thoughtful Writing at Amazon and (rather expensive copies) at Half.com. I also recommend that you speak with previous Writing 102 students, as they may have copies. Given the difficulty in acquiring more copies of this textbook, I will consider its availability for future sections that I teach of Writing 102. I am sorry for this delay.
