Ex 2-2: Response to Truss (moved from Mar 23)
This book makes some students laugh, and makes other students furious. Examine your reaction to Lynn Truss, paying special attention to your choice to focus on English. Please note... this assignment does not simply ask you to list your reactions, or to cheer her on or attack her positions. Rather, this essay is your opportunity to examine the reactions that you have already expressed. Has your opinion of Truss, of punctuation, or the field of English studies changed? Rather than providing a laundry list of reactions, demonstrate your ability to focus on a single thesis, and develop it across several paragraphs.

Is there a word or a page limit for this assignment?

Posted by: Jenna at March 25, 2007 12:02 AMI had the same question. Only the slot for 2-1b is up on turnitin.com so...?
Posted by: HallieGeary at March 25, 2007 7:11 PMYes, it is supposed to go online. I was on a train all day yesterday and didn't get this message until just now. I've fixed the slot and extended the deadline to 4pm today.
