In the beginning of class Dr.Phillips discussed our first grade (which would be our metaphor presentations) on Blackboard. She basically went over on how to find out your grade by adding the points you have in total for each assignment and dividing it by the number of assignments.

She went over on what to look for in the articles related to our subject.
When choosing your article, think about:
1. Does or will this article expand people's knowledge over the subject?
2. Is there something useful that any writer can take out of the article you chose?
***VERY IMPORTANT*** when saving your article, you must save it as a pdf file!!!!
***ALSO VERY IMPORTANT***make sure Dr.Phillips has your article a week before your presentation to the class.

You MUST e-mail your article to her! Here all the following steps if you're still having trouble sending her a message:
1. Login with the Google account you created.
2. Go to "My Account"
3. Scroll down to “Documents”
4. Then go to “upload” then select file
5. Then click “start upload”
6. Then go back to Google docs and it should be there, if you can’t see it, then make sure you are on the section “owned by me”
7. Then you click “share” then “share settings” and change it to “anyone with a link”, then you scroll down and click “send copy to myself”
8. Then you click “Share”

**Overall today we just did our metaphor presentations, which we will continue on our next class meeting Friday, January 28th**
