First read and assign

Please download and read the chapter "Social Work" from "Why We Don't Talk To Each Other Anymore" by John L. Locke. You can download the reading in 2 parts from my website at: http://www.novateller.com/ETSU.html

Also, while we await the arrival of the textbooks, I would like you to do a simple writing assignment for this week:
Please write a 2 page conversation among 3 friends discussing a recent movie. Simple as that. Write the scene as you might imagine it. Include yourself as one of the characters if you like. Use people you know as well - or be wholly fictional. Entirely up to you. This is an exercise so don't stress about the form and composition, or even neatness of the writing. I just want you to write a conversation AS YOU IMAGINE IT MIGHT OCCUR.
