Letter Rewriting Assignment
[1] Make sure you have the following materials. They will be handed out in class on Tuesday, November 18. If you do not have these materials, please pick them up from the MI administrative assistant, Becky Moffet, in MI 219.
*An envelope with the Beloit College history department address.
*A blue index card.
*A paper clip.
*A copy of John McPhee's New Yorker essay, "Draft No 4."
[2] In place of a class meeting on Tuesday 11/25, do the following things.
*Read John McPhee's essay (about forty-five minutes).
*Think about it; really reflect upon it.
*Rewrite the letter you wrote for the first assignment of this course.
*Reread it carefully one more time (on-screen or as a print-out).
*Print the letter.
[3]
Take your unstapled, printed letter and position it so that the envelop
becomes a kind of "cover." In other words, do not fold the letter into
the envelope.
[4] Take the blue card and write out the full address of your reader. Then put your name on the blue card, too.
[5] Put the blue card on top of your letter, and in the "binder" created by the unsealed envelope.
[6] Take the paper clip and bind them all together.
[7]
Bring the unit to the MI administrative assistant (pass my office door,
go to the top of the steps, take a LEFT, and walk all of the way to the
end of the hallway—the office will be on your right). If you have
problems, ask anyone in the building. If no one is in the office, gently
slip it under the door.
