It's Week 10, y'all!

Today’s Agenda:

• Warm Up​

• Intersections: Situations & 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)

Habits of Mind

• Engagement is fostered when writers are encouraged to act upon the new knowledge that they have discovered

• 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

• Rhetorical Situation: audience, purpose, context, exigency

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

• Genre and genre conventions

• Research as Learning/Information Literacy

​

Warm Up

You will peer review a classmate's draft of one of their genres. 

​

Post the link to your Genre 2 in the Blackboard Discussion Form: First Genre Peer Review. You need to post your review of the classmate's work in their discussion thread and also make sure that you put the peer review in a separate document or on your warm up document in your folder.

​

Focus on the following. Also, be sure to give a solid peer review. Answer the questions thoughtfully and in complete sentences. You should give actionable feedback and give "because" statements for your suggestions. If your review does not address the following questions, it will not count toward your E&L grade in the Final Portfolio.

​

1. Who do you think the audience is? Why?

2. Where is the research located in the genre?

3. Does the writer show care for the reader?

4. How is the genre appropriate for meeting the needs of the audience?

5. Where/How does the writer meet requirements of the genre conventions/rules? (think: what do we expect from that particular type of writing?)

6. In what ways does the writer create knowledge through writing?

7. Do the visuals and conventions match the situation the writer is in?

​

Intersections: Situations and Genres

Workshop - Work on planning and drafting your second Genre for W&R

​​

​

Looking Ahead:

Discovery Log #10

Find a podcast episode or documentary episode relating to your issue or ideas you are exploring for your Intersections project!

-Use this entry to find information you may be lacking/needing for your 1st 2 Genres. You can also either explore a source that you have not been able to log. Remember, you should be finding multiple sources for each log from here on out.

​

Additionally, make sure you are searching for any information you need in order to compile the information necessary for communicating with your audiences.

​

Portfolio Practice 2.2

Choose a learning outcome from 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?

Homework

Work on your Discovery Log 10

Work on your FYS genre and other two genres

Go through daily class plans since October 12 (midterm) and make sure that your folders contain the assignments we have worked on in class, including Warm Ups, Discovery Logs, 

Write:

Discovery Log 10 due Sunday at midnight 

Portfolio Practice 2.2 due Sunday at midnight

Fill in the Situations and Genres Spreadsheet with your plan

No reading response this week - as such, your Discovery Log needs to be longer. Your priority should be making sure you have the information you need to successfully produce your genres.

​

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