Code Switching In-Class Activity

I’m not sure when Ligeia and I first met. It’s been a while since we met, I guess. So long, in fact, that were you to ask me about any of the characteristics of our meeting, I could only tell you about her intelligence, her voice and whatnot, those are the things that mattered to me.

To children:
Once upon a time, I met a lady named Ligeia. It was a long, long time ago. I don’t know a lot about the lady. The lady was really smart. The lady talked really low. It was so long ago that I don’t remember anything else about the lady.

important technical notes

...it's a good idea to write your posts in a word processing program (MS Word has a "blog post" template that is ideal) before posting. That will allow you to save your work and avoid the extraordinarily frustrating experience of hitting the wrong key just before publishing a post and losing at all (not that I'veever made such a rookie mistake, of course).

...if you're having trouble posting an inquiry or response, you can print out your paper and bring it to class in order to receive credit. I'll still ask you to post it to the blog once we fix the problem, but that way you'll still receive full credit.

inquiry papers

response guidelines

Your response papers should be in the "comment" section of the inquiry paper to which you are responding.

1) Read a classmate's inquiry paper that has not yet been responded to.

2) Summarize the argument or thesis of the assigned reading.

3) Address your classmate's question(s) using what you've learned from this and other readings. You may not feel confident in your answers; that's okay. Speculate, brainstorm, explore, pose other questions, relate it to your life experience, expand on the stakes of the questions, etc.
