Homework for Friday

Ok, ladies & gents, madames & monsieurs, here are the assignments to be completed prior to Friday's class:

1. Read Ch. 1 in Everything's an Argument (3-44). You needn't complete any of the exercises suggested; we'll consider those (and more) in class. Also: don't worry about having a verbatim command of the text. Instead, focus on developing a general understanding of key points, and be ready to discuss one or two points that interests you.
2. Create a blog via Blogger.com and send me the URL
3. On said blog, post what we will call a Communications Diary for a 12 hour period. This should be a bulletted or numbered list of communications activities. These might text messages, IM conversations, emails, posting to web sites and/or chat rooms, participation in MMORPGs, formal meetings. You don't need to include every verbal conversation--but if you have particularly memorable conversation or one in a unique setting, please include it. Each listing should offer time, date, and a one-sentence or less description.

Please email me if you have any questions!
