Monday, April 4^th

HW due Thursday, April 7^th, by 11:59 p.m.  Title it “Unit 3 Proposal” under “Discussions/Unit 3.”

Throughout the semester, we’ve seen people talking about (for example) education in a variety of different genres. In each of these instances, the author is trying to reach a different audience and they pick the genre that will best speak to that audience. Think about Lynda Barry’s comic or James Baldwin’s speech, or Jamila Lyiscott’s poem. These are all different genres.  Why might one write in any of these genres?  Who do these genres reach?

In this unit, you’ll be writing about the topic you researched in Unit 2 for an audience of your choosing– so now it’s time to think about what genre you think will best reach your audience!

WRITE:  You will need to write a proposal of at least 200 words outlining what you plan to do for Unit 3. Post to website. This proposal should tell us:

• A 1-2 sentence statement of what you want to teach your audience (the most important thing you learned in Unit 2)
• The audience you are trying to reach
• The genre you are planning to write in and why you chose it
• A plan — how do you intend to get started?
• Anything you might be worried about.  What are your concerns about finishing this project?

The Reflective Annotated Bibliography was due yesterday, March 30th, by 11:59 p.m.  If you did not submit it by then, you have forfeited your opportunity to revise your RAB for the Final Portfolio.
