EWRT1A-61: office hours

Office hours are from 4:15 to 5:15 on Thursdays in the part-time faculty offices. These are located in the Baldwin Winery building, behind financial aid and next door to the printing services.

Malcolm X

If you've never heard Malcolm X speak before, then you need to.

Here he answers questions that many of you might have for him. Also, notice how often he is interrupted and not allowed to finish a complete thought, yet how calm he remains.

EWRT1A-61: essay 1

In case you've lost your copy, here is the handout about essay 1.

I know a few of you still don't have the reader. Make sure you've told the bookstore to order one for you. Even then, it may take awhile. In the meantime, consider borrowing someone else's book. You could photocopy the next few essays. If this doesn't work for you, please e-mail me. After today, saying that you don't have the book will not be an acceptable excuse.

EWRT1A-61: Paulo Freire

Remember, if you went by the bookstore and the reader wasn't there, be sure to tell someone at the bookstore that you need it. Otherwise, they won't know how many to reorder. I'll contact them about it also.

Luckily, the Paulo Freire reading is on-line. You can see it here. Also, if you'd like a bit more information about Freire's influence on education, this site is good.
