SOME early papers - to help you all

5 handed in early Tannen papers. Here are my email comments to them-they may help U.

Hi, all. There are 5 of you in the BCC (blind carbon copy) field. I have the same thing to say to 4 of you: part of the assignment was to bring light to your observation from one of our "foundational" thinkers or ideas - Mead, Eisler, the videos, the lectures. One of you did that (you used Mead). All the others did not do that - although your papers were very interesting.
You may think you do not have the room to add comments tying your thoughts to the foundational thinkers or observations. Comb through your papers to see where you can eliminate words. E.g., you do not need to say things like "One aspect I find very interesting is ..." Of course it is you and of course you found it interesting or you would not be writing it. Likewise, "It is my understanding that ..." Of course it is your understanding - or you would not be writing it. So comb through the paper to eliminate excess wording. Get it down to the bone. Then you will make some room to connect to others' thoughts & observations.

You can also make room by putting: Name, Soce 341, Title - all on 1 line. Use good ink.

Again, your papers were good - each one could be EVEN BETTER.
