Writing 3 Class Notes -- Week 11 (November 7)

Greetings!

The class went on a Field Trip today ... all the way to the coffee shop downstairs at Grace.  We're at a place where we're doing more discussing than instructing.  It helps to change it up a bit.

After settling in at one of the tables, we had spent some time on a Quick Write.  Since today is Billy Graham's 95th birthday, we wrote on the topic "Evangelism."  (Many of the students were only vaguely aware of who this man is, but I have friends and family members who were saved through his ministry.  For those interested, here's the link to the program "The Cross," which his son, Franklin Graham calls his father's last message to America.)  A delightful conversation ensued as they shared their thoughts about evangelism and the command of the God to share our faith.  I loved their comments!

After our quality discussion about sharing our faith, which included some dramatizations, we discussed the presentations, revising rough drafts, transitions within and between paragraphs, and the grading rubric.  Rough Draft #2 is due next week.  I'll be sending the drafts of the Works Cited page back to the students before then.  If students are unsure if they've used the correct formatting, they can check their bibliographical entries with EasyBib or Son of Citation websites.

Thanks to Ben C.  for providing the notes for this class.
