1. On your blog, list one or two subcultures you're interested in using for Assignment #2. Also include what components, such as dress, language, etc., you would like to include for each listed group.
2. Post your impression of the first peer review. Was it helpful? In what way(s)? Could it be improved, and if so, how?
3. Read the chapter "Definition", pages 275-284, and then practice writing your own one-paragraph (7-12 sentences) definition to show an understanding of this component. Choose from one of the following topics, and give your own personal definition (don't use a dictionary definition!) of how you would define this topic. Include three different aspects, or definitions, for said topic.
-When is someone "educated"?
-The middle-class
-Choose your own topic
Of course, you'll post this paragraph on your blog:) Also, read through other responses. Are they following the features of the Definition genre? If not, give a few pointers!
4. Revise Paper #1 for submission. It is due by 2 p.m. on Tuesday, February 19th, and it may be submitted in class or via an email attachment.
5. Read the chapter "Beginnings and Endings". This can offer some helpful tips for writing your introduction and conclusion!
6. If you weren't in class on Tuesday, read the "Profile" chapter, pgs. 153-159.
