English 290

Spring 2001

Introducing Yourself and Commenting about ProPenCity

DUE January 29 --but please post your message earlier if possible.

1. Post a message to the listserv introducing yourself. Use the file you created and uploaded to your account if you wish.
2. Examine the web site built by last semester’s English 290 students, who took on the project from scratch. The URL is highlighted above. Please post a couple of messages of reasonable length commenting on what you find there and tossing out a couple of ideas about what content this semester’s students might put up. (If you have comments about design, hold off till we read Robin Williams. Then we can talk about design. Right now I’m interested in content. )

Conversations starters:

What would you like to find out about Professional Writing?

What would you like to research and write about?

Do your interests intersect with those of another classmate? (In other words, begin to try to connect your ideas with those of others.)

What would be a unifying theme for our issue of the webzine?

Note:

The audience for this site: PW majors and prospective PW majors.
