Creativity marries Logic

For Thursday, you'll be turning in your last assignment in our "creative writing" section of the class. Write 2 paragraphs describing some aspect of your Thanksgiving holiday. Be descriptive. Use colorful words and verbs! And don't forget to proofread. :)

Tonight, I'm going to try to scan in your reading assignment, so check back this evening. If I still can't get it up there, I'll just make copies and we'll go over it in class. We'll be taking a look at argumentative/persuasive writing, and learning how to both analyze other writer's persuasive pieces, and how to construct our own. The thing we must always remember is: evaluate premises. More about this in class. 

For now, don't throw out your creativity! As we have seen, just because guidelines, rules, or logic are present, doesn't mean you can't be creative. In fact, perhaps creativity takes some of it's most useful forms in the boundaries of logic. 

So, I hope your Thanksgivings were wonderful! See you Thursday!
