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

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

​​

According to Roozen, "through writing, writers come to develop and perform identities in relation to the interests, beliefs, and values of the communities they engage with, understanding the possibilities for selfhood available in those communities" (p.50-1).  

​

• ​What does the quote above mean to you?

• In which ways have you seen identities developed and performed in the Intersections project? 

Use textual evidence!

 

Last Week's Peer Review:

Did you finish your peer review from Friday? Did you post it in the Discussion Forum group with your link to Discovery Log 10 and Portfolio Practice 2.2? If not, do that now.

​

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?

First Year Symposium Workshopping

Let's discuss the FYS Presentation..​.Using Visual Rhetoric

For Photos of past FYS presentations, click here. 

​

You will be presenting with a group for FYS. Based on the issue you have been researching (DL's), you will find a way to present on a historical connection as a group. The FYS poster presentation will count as your 3rd Genre! 

​

You need to be working on work for this class outside of class time if you want to manage a timely and effective FYS presentation. Collaboration outside of class with your team is a must so if you are experiencing problems, you need to speak up asap! Part of adulting is learning how to work with people and problem solving...DO not leave steps for the very end because you will get behind!

​

In your groups, work on the visual rhetoric of your trifold board and the PowerPoint presentation. 

​

​

Looking Ahead:

Discovery Log #11

Due on Sunday, as always. Use the template. Find information.

​

Portfolio Practice 2.3

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?

​

​

Homework

Work on your Discovery Log 11

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 11 due Sunday at midnight 

Portfolio Practice 2.3 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.
