Week 3: Writing Processes
For Monday:
Texts:
- Read “Bandwagon” Description and Illustration
- Read “Namecalling”
- Read “Hyperbole and Understatement” (in the book)
- Read “Shitty First Drafts” by Anne Lammott
Writing:
- Work on your “This I No Longer Believe” essay
For Wednesday:
Texts:
- None!
Writing:
- Choose your peer review option
- “This I No Longer Believe” first drafts are due! If you chose the anonymous option, go to Blackboard and find the “Peer Review” tab, then follow the instructions. If you chose the non-anonymous option, post your draft here on the course site under the category “Unit 1 Work.” (It’s ok to post it privately if you only want to share it with your peer review group during class.)
- Complete the Hyperbole and Understatement exercises in the book and post your answers as a comment here.
- Complete the Namecalling and Bandwagon activity.


Did we have any work in the textbook? If we do, can anyone reiterate what exactly we have to do?
…and also how/where we submit it?
Hi Raja,
The instructions are on this post under Writing for Wednesday — do the exercises in the book for Hyperbole and Understatement and then write your answers as a comment on the post linked to above. https://eng110e2.commons.gc.cuny.edu/rhetorical-devices-hyperbole-understatement/
