Before class time on Friday, please leave a comment on this post in which you address the following:
Based on the examples we've read and the discussions we've had in class so far, list at least 3 possible topics that you could see yourself writing about for this assignment. Tell us a little bit about each topic and why it would make a good topic (or not). You aren't tied to any of the topics you list here --- this is just to make sure you're considering multiple options before deciding on THE topic.

Welcome and first assignment
Welcome to the online discussion forum for English 2000! Here is where I will post discussion prompts, and where you will leave your responses in the Comments section. Your responses all count towards your Homework/Participation average in the class.
A few ground rules:
1. You must respect yourself and others with the words you post.
2. I encourage you to respond to things your classmates have already said, but you are required to read through existing comments so you don't simply repeat what someone else has contributed.
3. Responses are due (and therefore must be posted) before the class meeting where we will discuss the prompt to which you're responding.
To compose your response, simply click on the Comments link below the post. A separate window will pop up. To minimize the risk of losing your responses, I highly recommend that you compose your responses in a word processing program, save them, and then copy and paste into the comments window. When you're ready to publish it, choose "Nickname" under "Choose an Identity" (unless you have a Blogger account), and type your name (first name and last initial is fine). Next, you'll have to fill in the Word Verification letters. Then, click "Publish Your Comment." It may not appear right away, but it will show up eventually.
For your first response assignment, leave a comment on this post and briefly tell us about your experience preparing food in a kitchen. Did you help in the kitchen growing up? Do you have special things you like to cook? Do you not know how to boil water? What kind of cook are you and what does that tell us about you? Your comment is due by class time on Wednesday, January 23.
