Study Questions
Here are the study questions for ES/English 244. Reflect on these before coming to class (and in some cases written responses are required). If the syllabus indicates that these are to be handed in, TYPE responses and double space, so I can make comments. Include the information at the top of the study questions and include your name. These written assignments are part of the writing component of the course.
