Welcome!

Hi Eng 1303 Class,

Welcome to our class blog! On this site, you can share the Houston place you've written about with your classmates and learn about the various nooks and crannies of the city that they've illuminated in their essays. Please post your thesis and one body paragraph from your essay by class time October 21. (You'll get extra credit if you also post a photograph of your place, or a picture that symbolizes your message about the place!) Then, during class time that day, I ask that you respond to 4 student posts. Tell your peers what you've learned about Houston from them, or how you've always seen the place they're writing about in a different way, or whether you now plan to visit the place they wrote about, etc. Alternatively, you might respond to your classmates descriptive writing techniques. Spend some time reading around and then write 3 or more sentences in response to any 4 posts that catch your fancy. Happy reading!
