1101 - Question about Reading Exercises

Hi -

This is a good question about the exercises in the book, The Curious Writer.

Q - Am I supposed to do the exercises in the book when you've assigned a chapter to read? I've done some but not all of them.

A - No, you don't have to do the exercises unless I specifically assign them. But, doing some of them in your journals IS a good idea for two reasons.

First, most exercises are quite good and will help you grow as a writer. Second, when I'm reviewing your portfolio at semester's end and see that you took time to do a few unassigned exercises in your journal, I grade more favorably.

I hope that helps. Please post any questions you have as a "comment" to this post.
