Follow-up to class on Monday, Oct. 17

From the N.H. Sunday News of Sunday, Oct. 16, 2016.

Couple of notes from last night's class.

But first, check out the above article, which is about a local road race in honor of James Foley, the reporter from New Hampshire who was killed by terrorists.

Notice the picture of the sign. They used 'that' for a person instead of 'who.'

Okay, maybe it's not a crime. But it strikes me as an unfortunate way to honor someone who worked with words.

Good writing matters.

Before last night's quiz, I neglected to hand out the usual "round-up" sheet that summarizes the week's reading and writing assignments.

A few people received it, but most of you left before I realized I hadn't passed it out.

So here it is below. Plus, I've e-mailed it to everyone just to make sure you have it.

Please let me know any questions. More to come...
