Spring Open Mic Extra Credit
Another extra credit opportunity!!
Our campus is holding its Spring Open Mic on Tuesday 3/31 from 7-9PM in Rooms 224-226 (2nd floor of the building the cafeteria is in).
What's an Open Mic? It's a chance for you all to read pieces of your own writing (poems, songs, stories, essays, anything!) and to hear the writing of your peers on campus. You sign up for a time slot when you arrive and I believe you're limited to 3 minutes of reading. If you went last semester, you know that it's a lot of fun (and there's free food if you get there before they run out--pizza, drinks, cookies).
If you go, make sure you check in with me there and I'll offer extra credit for attending. If you read a piece of your own writing, I'll give you twice the extra credit.
Start choosing your piece of writing now! :)

Post #4 and Important Announcements!!
Dear Everyone,
Please read this carefully as there is quite a bit of important information here:
1. Your Paper #3 Final Draft is due Thu, 3/12. The electronic copy is due at turnitin.com. The hard copy (with all work + pink writing center slip attached) is due at the HUMANITIES Division office in room 522-O (2nd floor of the 500 building). You will see a large envelope with "Ms. Liu's English 100 7AM Class" on the front. Put your work in there. Do this by NOON on Thursday.
2. Your syllabus says that part of your homework is to read "Because That's" and another handout. However, I forgot to give you the articles today. I'll give them to you when we have class again next Tuesday (3/17).
3. In addition to the other readings listed for this week, I would like you to do a blog response. First, do a search (you can try ebscohost, google,...whatever you like) and find an article (at least a full page long) that deals with gender in American society. Look up something's that interesting to *you*. In your blog response, give us the full title of the article, the source (what publication it can be found in), and then explain how this article challenges, complicates, or adds to our ongoing conversation about gender in American society. For example, maybe you think that our society pays a lot of attention to the issue of women and eating disorders but you think that eating disorders and body image are significant issues for men as well--then you can do a search for an article on that topic, read the article, and write your blog response on it.
Length: 2-3 paragraphs
Due: before our next class meeting (3/17)
