Welcome to Reading and Writing 2 D.

Thank you for joining our class, and welcome to the class blog for students in my AEP reading and writing classes.

Please feel welcome to spend a few minutes looking around to see what is here. If you look back over previous posts written by former students and myself, you will get some idea of how we use this blog, although I am planning to use it in a slightly less demanding way this term. Since we meet only twice a week, it might be useful to move some of the more general discussion exercises in Hartmann to response writing exercises here, and, at least for the first week or so, not to blog articles in the press.

In the series of blog posts whose titles begin "Response writing ...", published on Monday, October 14, you can see examples of how a discussion exercise in Hartmann (2007, p. 218, x. F) has been converted into a very productive, and quick, response writing activity on the blog.

A thoughtful response should normally mean writing for five to ten minutes. After you state your main idea, some details, explanation, examples or other follow up will help your readers.
