Code Switching

"Oh my gawd I cant freakin remember what was goin on when me and Ligea, like, hooked up. It was so long ago you know. And I just blacked out or maybe like because really she was like so freaking hot and super smart and like super amazing that like I didn't even realize we were doing that on the couch you know"

-Neil's response as a "typical" teenage girl

My response as a more classy type teenage boy:

Oh my goodness, I have no idea was happened the night that I met Ligea. It was so long ago that it is hard to remember, or maybe it's hard to recall because I think I fell in love with her. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and she was smart too. It was like I was in a whole new world, and when I came back to the real world her beautiful lips were on mine.

Post a Comment

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.
