WEEK TWO

12 September 2022

I'm sorry for this late message but today's class will need to be canceled. It's a long story, and I'm not going to bore you with it, but the short version is this: I have my fair share of auto-immune issues and have been having a flare up of symptoms. I had an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow, but they needed to cancel it and rescheduled me for this afternoon at 2:00. There is no way I can go to the doctor and then also get to a place where I can even zoom teach. But if I cancel this appointment I will get pushed far into next month, and that's just not going to work. So I need to cancel this class so that I don't have to cancel and/or teach on zoom for many others. I know this is last minute. I got the message from the doctor's office at 9 this morning. I accepted without really thinking about the timing of it. 

This message will be repeated on our class syllabus page and on the class update page. 

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR WEDNESDAY:
Please come to class with the notes for your one article that you need to find. And have read the Why Johnny Can't Write article. You do not need to do a reading journal. Simply come prepared to discuss and write about both articles in class. 

Again, I am sorry for such short notice. Will not make a habit of it. Will definitely see you on Wednesday.

​
​
WHAT WE'LL DO IN CLASS
​

IN-CLASS: work on grammar lust & loathing. Overview of Book Club assignment.





​

IN-CLASS:  workshopping your partner interview. 
In an effort to calm worries and simply make clear what you are responsible for tomorrow and what will happen in class, I’m including this information on the syllabus and in this email. 
  1. As per our conversation in class on Monday, if you did not turn in your reading journal on Why Johnny Can’t Write, you should turn it in tomorrow.

  2. Tomorrow, I will expect that you have read and have written a reading journal on Chapters 1-3 in Constance Weaver’s Grammar to Enrich & Enhance Writing. Some of you have already done this work. Great. But if you have not, like I said, my expectation is that you’ll come to class having read Weaver and having completed the reading journal. Keep in mind how we developed the summary of the Why Johnny Can't Write article in class as you do this. That reading is available on the syllabus page of our class. It is listed under the Monday, 18 September 2022.
    ​

  3. At the end of class on Monday, you were paired up with someone in class. One person was absent, and I will pair that person with her match when we get together on Wednesday. In class, you will have time to interview your partner. I will provide a brief overview of what you should do with that interview information for the partner interview. And you’ll have a chance to write and workshop your writing all in class. I’ll also give you instructions on how you should turn in your partner interview next week Monday, 25 September 2022.

  4. In class, also, we will do an exercise based on the reading in Weaver about Grammar. You don’t need to do anything to prepare for that work beyond having completed the reading.

I hope this helps you be prepared and feel confident about tomorrow’s class. See you then.

Due by the end of next week (17 September 2022): 
ONCE YOU’VE ACTUALLY READ the policies and syllabus for this course.  You have the opportunity to earn one "A" for Acceptable for a reader's notes grade simply by completing the following assignment by 17 September 2022.

1. Send me an email at ltorda@bridgew.edu , CC me at lee.torda@gmail.com

2. In the subject line, write "Syllabus Check-in Email". Write it exactly as I've written it here. 

3. In the body of the email, include a greeting: "Hello LT," "Hi Professor Torda," "Hey Dr. Torda." Whatever. But have a greeting.

4. Cut and paste this sentence into the email: "I've read through the policies and syllabus for the course, and I understand how to use the website to find out information about assignments, course policies, due dates, and classroom expectations, and to post my own writing to the class website in fulfillment of written assignments."

5. Sign off on your email, "best, so & so" "see you in class, your name here" "sincerely, John Doe." Again, whatever. But sign off on your email. 

NOTE: Keep in mind, that when you send me this email, I’m going to assume you’ve actually done your due diligence about reading the syllabus and policies for the course, and I will hold you to those policies going forward during the semester. 

Make sure I get this email by 17 September 2022. If you don't send it to me, you lose the freebie “A” for acceptable for a reading journal post.

WEEK EIGHT

​​Monday 10.24.2022
So, super long story. Yesterday, getting back from Pine Ridge, our car died on 24, like you could press on the gas all day long, and it just didn't go. It was pretty terrifying. So we had it towed to our mechanic, who is the grandfather of our godson, and he fixed the car today (Sunday), Let me add, that at the point that the car gave out on Route 24, I'd already been up since 4:00 AM and been on two planes and dropped Dr Anderson home. I watched the sunset, which was lovely, waiting for the tow truck. So today when we went to get the car (turned out to be the alternator), on the way home, in the pouring rain, I got a flat tire on Route 140 and barely made it to an exit so that I could change the tire. Again, in the pouring rain. I'm home now, and dry, but, I'm also super exhausted for the whole red cloud trip, which is 12 hour days of a lot of work, and what has really turned out to be two superlatively crapola days. 

So I'm asking that we meet on zoom tomorrow. We can use the zoom link on any of the webpages for our class or in my email signature block.  OR ​CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY ZOOM SPACE.

I need to get the tire either patched or get a new one--I think it's going to be the latter because it's really, really flat. And I want to do that as soon as I possibly can tomorrow AM, but I whether I'm sitting in some dingy tire shop or I'm in my house, I can hold class as usual at 1:50.

I'm sorry for the late-night email and the sudden change of plans. I get totally stressed out by stupid car crap like this, and I think I'm still tired from the trip, and also I'm just behind because of it.  I'm also sorry to tell you the whole long story, but I figure it's better to explain it now than waste our time together talking about it. 

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A ZOOM CLASS TOMORROW: 
So apparently, Wednesday is a Friday schedule. Did you know that? I didn't know that. I should have known that. I thought I worked from the school's academic calendar, but, somehow, I missed this weird, middle of the week, day off for Wednesday classes. So I have to seriously revamp the syllabus for our class because we are right at the end of this major assignment. I want to make sure that you feel ready to turn in the work that you need to turn in. So it's really important that we meet tomorrow in zoom. 

FOR TOMORROW ON ZOOM: Have your materials from your teacher ready to work with. I will make sure you have time in the zoom space in breakout rooms to work with the other people in your group who had the same teacher. I'll take you through an exercise meant to help you figure out what to do with the raw material you've gotten and turn it into a true profile and not just a bunch of answers to a bunch of questions. 

Obviously, this Wednesday day off will push the workshop to the following Monday and the portfolio check in to at least next week Wednesday. I don't know if this makes your life easier or harder. I hope easier. Or at least not harder. 

There are some other changes to next week's syllabus that I need to talk about with you, but I'll wait until I see you in zoom-person tomorrow.
