Tonight, we begin Unit 2, an essay on critical media literacy and an accompanying “Reflective Annotated Bibliography” (RAB). We will gather in small groups to work on a group summary, individually itemized, of this article :
List your sources in alphabetical order, with MLA citation and info below (400-500 words each)
-
- 1-paragraph Summary + 2-3 Key Quotes (include citation page if possible)
- 1-paragraph Rhetorical Analysis (Who is the author? What kind of publication is this? How do you feel the author’s writing style, awareness of audience and purpose (reason for writing), and choice of genre affect the meaning and credibility of the document?)
- 1-paragraph Response (what do *you* think of these ideas? how does this source add to your knowledge?)
In the Read Like a Writer we learned how to read like you’re in the writer’s shoes.

That reading like this consisted of a series of choices. That these choices the author made can help you better understand even one’s own writing. Once he learned how to read like a writer he could apply this style or technique to influence his own writing according to the passages on page 7. The author of RLW goes on to state that he would try to apply other writers techniques to see if they worked for him.
