HERE is a calendar to sign up for one-on-one conferences with me (we will use our Zoom link). Please sign up if I told you you needed to or if you have any questions about Unit One, Unit Two or the course in general!

Hi guys, the homework for Tuesday, March 16 is:

  1. Finish the “reverse outline” that you started on your mentor articles last week (Marriage, NCAA, Coronavirus or Activism). Remember to focus on what the article DOES (“In this paragraph, the author uses their own experience to draw the reader in” or “in this paragraph, the author brings in an outside source and explains it in relatable language so regular people can understand”) instead of what is SAYS (“the author tells us he was a football player and is now a senator”).  We are trying to get to a kind of generic outline that you can use as a guide– for writing form only– if you want!

As an example, HERE is the one we did in class!  You may have to revise the part you did already to make it about what the article DOES (not says)

Post to Open Lab

2. Finish the “quote sandwich” paragraph we started in class on Thursday.  In this paragraph, you will take a quote from an article about your research topic (you do not need to agree with this quote– but you might!) Use the guidelines in THIS POSTER.  That is, introduce the quote (and author,)  summarize the quote in your own words, and then analyze (explain) the quote by telling the reader what you think about it, why it is important and/ or how it relates to your central question!

Also post this to OL.  Please post these two assignments separately!
