Give me a space
No one came
Feel the cold
Give me some time
No one ever loved
Once again, feel lonely
Have been in love have to break up
Why love can not spend
Why in the end
If I had known
Why start
After the price is indifferent laughter
As said, I deeply love
Why should I flee from
Behind eachother
I still had my

DUE DATES: Note due date under each topic. Also, responses CAN be posted prior to due date if you want to read ahead or if your summer plans make it difficult to complete the posts by the assigned dates.

(3) Be sure to complete the signature section at the bottom of the page. Put your first and last name (example: John Smith). The program will send you a password.

IMPORTANT: For each post (TOPICS 1-9), include a topic heading, identifying your specific topic of conversation. One post per topic is required, but if you want to post or respond more than once any given topic, that's fine. MAKE SURE THAT YOU POST TO THE TOPIC BY SELECTING THE "REPLY" LINK.

IDEAS TO GET YOU THINKING AND WRITING

FIRST IMPRESSIONS - FREEWRITE
Write down what you think about the passage, without worrying about logical organization. Immediately after finishing a section or a text, take some time to write down anything that comes to you in relation to the text, your initial reactions or responses. Don't try to puzzle them out; write freely. If the reading bores you, write that down. If you're intrigued by certain statements, attracted to characters, interested in issues or ideas, if you find something confusing or irritating, write it down. Just keep writing. The point is to get you're your ideas down on paper and not to censor or judge them prematurely. Freewriting, in fact, provides a way to pursue an idea and develop your thinking to see where it may lead. This assignment can be very brief, a two-minute initial response to a poem or opening paragraph, or more sustained, a 20-minute "free" writing immediately after finishing a novel or play.

AGREE OR ARGUE
Agree or argue with the author. List reasons, examples and details to support your position. Anticipate possible objections to your position, and, in turn, answer those objections with further reasons, examples, and details for your position.

TOPICS (click on topics, 1-9)
1. Introduction
2. How do we kow anything?
3. Other Minds
4. The Mind-Body Problem
5. The Meaning of Words

Music to My Ears

BEGIN BY POSITING YOUR MUSIC ESSAY TO THIS FORUM PAGE.

After posting your music paragraph on the Forum pages, you will choose three paragraphs written by three different students to include in your essay. You will revise the student paragraphs so that they sound as if they come from one voice. The process will end with each student composing a traditional five-paragraph essay--one paragraph at a time.
