Pay Attention

Read the entire post.  People asked me several times today if setting up their blog was all they were supposed to do.  READ THE POSTS. 

 Several people on the Poe assignment did questions 1 through 4.  The post reads “questions 1 and 4″.  If you don’t pay attention, you won’t know what to do and might do too much or too little.

I will do my best to give you clear instructions.  Do your part by reading them.

Note:  there was a bit of confusion about what I meant when I said to dreate a Toulmin argument.  I meant to write an argument based on your reflections that contained the elements of a Toulmin argument, i.e. a claim, fasts, warrant, etc.  When you present your thoughts to someone, leading with “Claim:…isn’t going ot be particularly persuasive.
