Welcome to the Course!

Welcome to the pandemic edition of Freshman Composition 1, Sections 11, 12, 28 & 29 with Dr. Joshua Grasso! 

This blog site will be our base of operations, and all of your assignments, announcements, videos, and handouts can be accessed here instead of on Blackboard. I'll explain all the work in class this week, so don't worry if you have questions. I'll give you the syllabus in class and will post it on the blog later in case you lose it. But again, don't worry about anything for now--I want to walk you through the class on Tuesday and Thursday.

Be sure to check your schedule: Sections 11 & 28 will meet on Tuesdays and 12 & 29 will meet on Thursday. The "off day" will be spent doing work on the blog, which you can complete on your own time, and won't be due until the next "on" day of class. Again, I'll explain all of this once you arrive. 

BE SURE TO BUY THE BOOKS FOR CLASS! You can find them at the ECU bookstore, or you can get them Amazon, etc., if you hurry. But really, hurry--since we'll need the first book by the end of the week. The books are:

* Best American Travel Writing 2019, ed. Alexandra Fuller
* Bourdain, A Cook's Tour 

I promise to explain everything else when you get to class! See you then! 

[NOTE: The posts below this one are from last Fall. You won't have to do any of this work. But feel free to browse if you're curious about the kind of work I usually assign.]
