As I mentioned in class, on Wednesday, the odd-day classes will have a café, where you will bring in a favorite reading (a poem, song lyrics, an excerpt from a short story or novel) and share it with the class. If you wish, you can even bring in a guitar to sing a song, and I'll even let you play a song (preferably of unplugged acoustic music) from your iPod or mp3 player for background music while you read aloud. (The speakers in my classroom can plug into the headphone jack.)
Your reading should not take up more than two or three minutes, and you should be prepared to say (briefly) something about what the reading means to you and how you came upon it.
Of course, you shouldn't let this "assignment" distract you from the more important task for Wednesday, which is to complete the revision of the second essay.
