For Monday: p. 38 from “Rewriting” (in the “Forwarding” chapter)
"Conversing in Writing
Find a listserv or blog whose topics interest you. Spend a few days following the exchanges on it. Note down those moments at which the members of the list or board really seem to be 'conversing in writing' with each other, and also note points where they seem to be doing something else (forwarding, flaming digressing, whatever). How useful is the metaphor of conversation in describing the exchanges you've observed? What does the metaphor distort or fail to describe?"
Be sure to write a paragraph to turn in answering these questions, and be ready to show and discuss your online discussion in class.
Also, start reading The Kite Runner
