other assignments, etc.

"Fortunate Son" is a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival
released on their album Willy and the Poor Boys in 1969. It was released as a single, together with "Down on the Corner.”

GRADING CRITERIA
A – 90-100 Work is excellent. Enthusiastic effort, original thinking, distinguished writing. The assignment demonstrates expertise and style and balances
creative and analytical thinking.
B – 80-89 Work is good. Genuine effort, sound thinking, solid writing. The assignment takes risks, holds promises, but still needs improvement.
C –70-79 Work is average, competent. Minimum effort, standard thinking, conventional writing. While the assignment is complete and glitch-less, it lacks
originality, invention, and creativity.
D – 60-69 Work is substandard. Poor effort, empty thinking, weak writing. The assignment is underwritten, incomplete, or riddled with careless mechanical
errors.
F--59 and below Work is either non-existent, indefensible, or a combination of the two.
Re vising papers is the best way to learn from mistakes and improve your grade! If you have questions about your paper, ask me. We may be able to solve
the problem quickly, but since I teach classes back-to-back, we may have to schedule another time. If I am unable to help you, visit the Writing Center. They
are wonderful. We have an online Writing Center that is wonderful as well.

I am a Zumba Instructor and invite you join me in the Fitness Center for a Zumba class.

If you decide to do so, you
may write an essay on your
experience for extra credit.

In addition to my passion for health and fitness, I love
motocross! On the weekends I score motocross events at Three Palms Motocross Park in Conroe, Rio
Bravo Motocross Park off Lake Houston Parkway, and Diamond Don’s Motocross Park. Motocross
athletes are passionate, polite and focused. Not only that, motocross is a family sport and I love that—
there is a bond between parents and their children and children and their parents that is unlike any I have
seen and it is generational. If anyone would like to go with me or come watch a motocross event—talk to
me, and again, if you write an essay about your experience you will earn yourself extra credit points.

ENGL 6024-14 MW-12:30-2:00
FALL—2015

We’ve been talking a lot about questions lately. As we segue into the next portion of our course questions are going to be
central to its theme. In the past students struggled at the outset—I’ll be honest, at some point they always, without
exception hit their stride and when they did it was an amazing shift. Students gained clarity in their thinking and as a
result clarity in their writing. Students’ confidence went through the roof and not pseudo-confidence from students who
were boastful and proud; rather, students who had a quiet sense of confidence that was unshakable.

Even so, students should not underestimate the complexity of crafting provocative questions. Indeed, it is, at least initially,
an exasperating challenge for most, me included. Be that as it may, learning how to craft compelling questions is also one
of the most gratifying abilities we can master. The tapestry of our lives is a compilation and manifestation of the questions
we have asked ourselves and others. While at the academy the questions we ask define the essays we write and the
research we do as either extraordinary or mediocre. Be extraordinary—

Assignment:
Read: “How to Mark a Book” by Mortimer J. Adler, PhD.
http://chuma.cas.usf.edu/~pinsky/mark_a_book.htm

• Students will craft five thoughtful questions from the reading.
• Questions may be written as T or F; Multiple Choice; or Fill in the Blank (FIB).
• Students must cite the answer to their questions according to MLA guidelines in-text citations.
• Once questions have been approved they will be placed into a text bank.
• I will mine the test bank for questions that will be on quizzes.
• Questions for the midterm and final exam will be explicated from the quizzes as well as from the test bank.
• Students will write their quizzes and exams from the assigned readings.

Upload Questions to D2L Due: 11 October 2015 – Dropbox Assessment Module: StudentGeneratedQuestions1

Example of T or F Question:
Mortimer J. Adler argues that writing in a book is an act of mutilation and should never be done. T or F
Answer—False. Adler states, “[Q]uite bluntly, that marking up a book is not an act of mutilation but of love” (1).

Example of Multiple Choice:
Adler explains that writing while reading is important because:

A. Eventually the reader will begin drawing ‘caviar factories’ in the margins

B. Reading is so boring it gives you something to do with your hands

C. Writing brings words and sentences more sharply before your mind and preserves them better in your memory.

D. Occasionally, someone will be inspired to write a song.

Answer—C. According to Adler, “[T]he physical act of writing, with your own hand, brings words and sentences more
sharply before your mind and preserves them better in your memory. To set down your reaction to important words and
sentences you have read, and the questions they have raised in your mind, is to preserve those reactions and sharpen those
questions” (2).

Example of FIB:
Adler argues lending a friend a marked copy of a book is like ____________________________.
Answer—“giving your mind away” (3).

• For the Wiki students will read Billboard 100 and other entertainment magazines to find protest songs of
the 60s.
