ENG 1101 Week 7 Agenda

Class Info

• Dates: Wednesday, 10/13-Tuesday, 10/19 ()
• Meeting Info:
  • For the synchronous sessions, we will meet on Tuesdays 12:00-1:40pm via Zoom and share notes in a shared document.
  • For the other class meeting time, which would have been 100 minutes long, you will do your work throughout the week asynchronously, on your own time. This work and homework are indistinguishable but all contribute to your informal work for the semester.
  • Work will be due during the week as noted in the weekly agenda, usually with Monday mornings as a deadline to join a discussion so we all have time to read an respond to each other.

Topic

ENG 1101 Project #2: Reflective Annotated Bibliography

Objectives

• To begin to develop topics for Project #2: Reflective Annotated Bibliography
• To engage with readings that will help us explore our topics
• To develop our research skills
• To continue to build our glossary

To Do from Before

To start this week, you will finish and post your Project #1: Education Narrative assignment, as well as your reflection about Project #1 (it’s all in the project instructions). If you have not finished your education narrative, look to the discussions from our weekly agendas to help you think through your work.

To Do This Week

The reading and writing activities this week will help you begin to develop a sense of our new project, and help you brainstorm topics for the project. Our library work will help you learn information literacy, which is an important component of all three courses in this learning community (they all include research).

Actions

• Listen to the Declaration of Independence
• Watch the City Tech Library’s Guide to Developing a Research Question

Reading

• Read the Declaration of Independence

Writing

• Annotate the text before class: add comments to the document. Some good annotations:
  • defining words you needed to look up (and then add them to our glossary!)
  • explaining something you understand
  • identifying something you don’t understand
  • pointing out aspects you notice from Reading like a Writer (remember Mike Bunn’s essay?). These include purpose, audience, tone, structure
• Contribute to our discussions about brainstorming research topics and crowdsourcing hospitality resources.
• Add another entry to our shared glossary (according to the glossary instructions)
