Introduction Letter Instructions

I'd also like for you to write to me an email of introduction (due Friday). I'm looking forward to talking to each of you one-on-one, but this helps get the ball rolling.

Please write me a carefully proofread, paragraphed letter introducing yourself in relationship to the course topic and goals. Skip the basic personal stuff since we'll do that in class, and try and answer these questions:

• What (if any) are your personal writing goals for this course?
• What (if any) are your scholarly writing goals for this course?
• What (if any) are your professional writing goals for this course?
• What are your feelings about the course topic and title? 
• Do you have any preexisiting experience or hold any preexisting opinions related to the course topic?
• What are five questions about writing that you'd like to answer over the course of the semester?
• What are five questions about the course topic that you'd like to answer over the course of the semester?

Finally, please create your Blogger Blog, and share the URL with me at the end of this email.

Thanks for your patience during all of this start-up stuff! We'll get into the swing of things as quickly as we everly can.
