Thinking about Thinking: Reflection on Prison History Workbook

Look back at the work you did in the Prison History workbook. Think about your thinking:
  • How did the workbook force you to read?
  • How was your reading similar to or different from the way you usually read?

You can either respond to these questions in your own blog and post your response there, or email it to me at mondayreading@gmail.com.

Introduction to The Mystery of Evidence

This class is designed to --
  • introduce you to college reading and
  • prepare you for the ACT exit test.
In order to accomplish those goals, we will focus on the concept of evidence --
  • in ACT practice passages,
  • in textbook chapters,
  • in autobiographical narratives, and
  • in mystery stories.

And by the time we get done, maybe evidence won't be a mystery any more after all.
