HW for 102 class to prep for final next monday

To prepare for essay 4, I think we need to have an idea of what concepts we are doing for each question. SO, lets do an outline.
What I want you to do is do Rule of 3 for each question (or at least rule of 2 for all of them, and rule of 3 for a couple of them...) and email to me what you are planning to write about....you should do this by Thurs nite, dec 10.

I will get back to you about how the outline is looking and then you can start writing...

Remember, our final is from 10 to 12 on Monday , Dec 14th. PLease bring TWO copies typed of the essay.

HW due next week for the 1A classes

first thing is to get and bring the book!

(dont forget the HW that was due THIS week, (the 3 chapters to read , etc....



Writing assignment:

This is an imagination exercise---you will be going into the mind of your pet, to try to get into their thoughts and spirit and body. You will be imagining what they are thinking, feeling, needing, etc... ----the goal is to leave your own brain behind, and to see if you can enter the mind of the fellow creature.... use your (their) 5 senses....try to stay away from concepts, and instead explore the senses....and the details of their world....you could maybe write about "a day in thelife" of the animal you chose..you can do it in the "I" voice ...or in third person (he, she)

this is an exercise that will take some time... you should plan to sit with the creature to get closer to it, literally and figuratively. ----

you can do it as a poem, or as prose......take your time... to get into the head space needed to do this...


Reading ass. :

3 more chapters:

Man against the Universe pg 207
The Last Neanderthal pg139
and a 3rd chapter of your choosing....

Essay #4 -- due dec 18th by email....

For this essay #4, you are going to be exploring these questions:

1. What did you "discover" when you attempted to get closer to nature, by spending time in nature and/or by spending time with an animal(s)? (this question is asking you to think about what you learned about yourself in trying to get closer to nature. Thus, Q1 is a lot like Q5, SO, you only need to answer Q1 OR Q5.)
2. What does Eiseley seem to doing with his writing?
3. What is he trying to teach us?
4. What do you think of Eiseley's efforts to look for the poetic aspects of life out in the biological world? (Most trained biologists don't do this in their writing or work.) (this Q kind of answers Q2 , at least for one of your Rule of 3 paragraphs..
5. What did you learn this semester about your own relationship with nature?
6. What did you learn this semester?

The paper is due by email on Dec 18, Friday. 
We will do draft day on the day of the Final for your class....
We will also do pre-drafts next week.

this paper will have the same formatting as your other papers:

1. 3 para intro
2. 1-2 quotes per para
3. The Star Thrower needs to be quoted in your paper 
4. You may also quote from other sources too...but the bulk need to come from Eiseley's book
5.  5 page minimum
6. Rule of 3 for the questions....
