Current Writing Assignments
Today, you have two assignments due:
- The Skill of Empathy
- Reading Check: 11/6/19
The “reading check” will collect data about your progress in The Things They Carried. You must also write a short response.
The other assignment was posted on October 29, after you had read through the instructional background on empathy and Chad Fowler’s essay.
By the end of today, you should have practiced empathy in four ways. For each, you should have a written response and some metacognitive analysis.
Your next essay will continue into Q2:
Read the prompt carefully. You will use the universal guide to write, which means you will need to discuss possible subjects and approaches in class before you begin.
Ask questions about this essay in class and in the comment section of the post. Use the comment section below to ask about this post’s overview of your work.
Note: You will be given a complete breakdown of our upcoming work on The Things They Carried. For now, continue to read at your own pace.
