Writing Strategies session #4: Friday, May 14th, 2010

1. Discuss your homework answers with your neighbour.
2. Hand in your homework.
3. Chapter summaries. Your summaries are mostly too detailed. Give only the important information.
4. Using the proper format, take in dictation sample summaries for chapters 1, 2 and 3.
5. Chapter 4: read and translate. We read and translated up to page 39 (top paragraph).

Homework:
