Campus-wide Book Selection

     The Campus-wide book for Fall 2012 is "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. Look for information about the book cirle in the fall. I hope you choose to read the book and join me once a month in th ERC for discussions. If you'd like to get a head start, you can purchase the book for $11 at Walmart.  Just remember to highlight things that interest you and talk-to-the-text so you can remember important scenes for the discussions this fall.  Email me or come by my office next semester to get information about the dates for discussion.


Click the link below to read about four great books then decide which one you'd prefer to read.  The book that receives the most votes will be used in the Campus-wide Literacy Circle in Fall 2012.  Please vote even if you have no plans to participate at this time.

Arguements

The topic of chapter 9 is "Arguements".  We have defined the word arguement and identified the elements of a strong arguement.  The support should be logical, relevant, and adequate.
