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

Spend 10-15 minutes working on one of your genre justifications (you need to complete a justification for both of your two remaining genres, not for your FYS presentation). 

​

Here's the template (Also linked to on the Situations and Genres page)

​

​

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 ask to meet.

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. 

​

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.
