  1. Hey, I have a little difficulty reading long texts like this online, so I printed out a copy which I'll read, then bring to class tomorrow.

  2. Okay that works out fine. Do you want me to do the same for yours?

  3. Define project
    -to argue that the internet develops us into a "higher society of thinking and reason"; therefore, we should embrace these technological advances

    Methods
    -utilizing texts from Sullivan, Thompson, Hedges, Carr, and Larson
    -personal experiences (ENGR 101 class/Dyknow software)
    -by broadening the definition of literacy to not only include "verbal literacy," but also "non-verbal literacy," and arguing that literacy is what defines us as a species

    Uses/limitations
    -I think creating subcategories of literacy is particularly effective. To make your argument a little more lucid, I would suggest cutting out some extraneous words/sentences that kind of dilute what you are trying to say, particularly in the first couple of pages. I would also reorganize some of the paragraphs so that the paper transitions a little more smoothly.
