Class 4-9-09

Today's class went by very smoothly. Todays topic was speech acts. We first met in small groups to discuss a few questions that Dr. Smidt had put on the discussion notes. Then, we discussed our trial writing sample in small groups. We then moved into large groups and discussed some of the terminology that we will need to use when doing our final writing sample. I thought it was good practice to hear some of these terms again and keep working with the material that we have covered through out the semester. Overall, I thought it was a great class even though I continue to have microphone problems.
