Today’s Agenda:

• Warm Up​

• Genre Approval?

• Genres Workshop

• Homework

 

Today's Goals:

Learning Outcomes​

• Demonstrate your ability to use your analyses of rhetorical situations to identify options and to make appropriate choices that will enable you to use writing to achieve specific purposes

• Demonstrate your ability to analyze different rhetorical situations (in academic, workplace, or civic contexts)

• Evaluate the ways in which you have become a more reflective (mindful, self-aware, thoughtful) writer

Habits of Mind

• Creativity is fostered when writers are encouraged to represent what they have learned in a variety of ways

• Responsibility is fostered when writers are encouraged to engage and incorporate the ideas of others, giving credit to those ideas by using appropriate attribution.

Key Terms​

• Composing processes: planning, researching, drafting, sharing and responding, revising, editing, publishing, reflecting

• Genre and genre conventions

• Research as Learning/Information Literacy

​

Warm Up

On your Warm Ups running document, respond to the following:

-Use metacognition (thinking about your past thinking) to describe how your views of the composing process have progressed as you worked on your FYS presentation from start to finish. Use writing to reflect on your writing process - Why did you make the decisions that you made? What decisions would you make differently if you had to do it all over again?

-What was your experience with presenting? Did you feel adequately prepared? Why or why not?

​

Are Your Genres Approved?

Update the Situations and Genres Spreadsheet with your plan

You should know what genres you are doing at this point. If you don't, speak with me ASAP. You can email me or come to office hours on Tuesday 12-1, or ask to meet at a different time.

If you leave for Thanksgiving break without having two approved genres to work on over the break, you should worry about whether or not you will be able to successfully complete your projects in time to be turned in.

​

Looking Ahead:

​

FINAL PORTFOLIO RO - Due Friday, December 7

No extensions will be given for turning this in. Plan accordingly. 

​

Discovery Log #12 - due Sunday at midnight

Due on Sunday, as always. Use the template. Use this week's log to find any other information you need for your Genres.

 

Portfolio Practice 2.4 - due Sunday at midnight

Choose a learning outcome from Composition, Seminar or History (look at your syllabi).

Follow the process steps for that outcome.

• Try to find three specific pieces of evidence for that outcome. Thoroughly explain those pieces of evidence.

• What do you need to do going forward to make sure that you are achieving this outcome?

​

Genre 1& 2 for Writing & Rhetoric - Continuous work

You should be actively working on planning and drafting these alongside your work on Symposium presentation.

​

Countdown to the End:

Genre 1 & 2 Drafting (all the time)

FYS (11/30) - remember, failure to attend will result in no credit for your graded presentation

Genre Justifications (On-going, turn in with Final Portfolio)

Genre Peer Reviewing and Drafting (11/26, 11/28)

Final Portfolio Reflective RO Workshop (11/30, 12/3)

Final Portfolio Due (12/7)

​

Ask questions about any of this now, don't wait until the day before a due date or deadline.
