Before class on Monday, students will…

  • Gather all the information you’ve written (introduction, sources, conclusion) in one document (go to Course Profile > Files > ENG1101 Handouts > ENG1101 Reflective Annotated Bibliography Template) and have a printed or digital copy available by the time we meet.

During class on Monday, we will…

  • Complete a self-review of your Reflective Annotated Bibliographies (see Course Profile > Files > ENG1101 Handouts > ENG1101 Self-Review Reflective Annotated Bibliography).
  • After you’ve completed (and emailed this document and your draft to eng1121.citytech1@gmail.com), review your notes and start working on the final draft! Do whatever needs to be done in order to submit the assignment on time and as perfect as possible!
  • Throughout this session, I’ll be calling each student up individually to check in with their progress. Be ready to share any issues/questions during this time!

Homework:

  • Continue working on the U2 Reflective Annotated Bibliography, which is due before midnight on Wednesday, 11/9.
  • Want further assistance? Sign up for a session at the Writing Center (you have to register if you haven’t done this before), or come by my office hour on Tuesday!

During class on Wednesday, we will…

Read:

Discuss:

  • What are the traits of a Twitter Thread?
  • Why do these authors use the medium of Twitter? In other words, if the authors had to post several tweets to make a point, why didn’t they use a format that allows for longer posts? What do the authors gain (in terms of audience, tone, effect) by choosing Twitter?
  • What does this have to do with Unit 3?
  • Begin brainstorming ways to use your research from Unit 2 for this project.

Homework:

  • Submit your U2 Reflective Annotated Bibliography before midnight on Wednesday, 11/9. Save the assignment as a PDF and create a post with Full Name, U2 Reflective Annotated Bibliography and save it under the category U2 Work.
    • Need a reminder on how to create a PDF or upload a document? Look under Course Profile > Files > ENG1101 Handouts > ENG1101 How to Upload U1 Writing Assignment. Follow the directions. Note: Just save it as U2, not U1!
  • Write a short reflection (approx. 150-200 words) on the research process of U2 and what you learned. Consider the following questions: What did you find difficult about doing this type of research? In doing this type of research, what did you learn that you can take to future classes?
    • Title this reflection Full Name, U2 Reflection, and save it under the category U2 Work. Please do this no later than class time on Monday! It’s one of those low-stakes writing assignments!
  • Be sure to look at the Agenda for Week 10 when it’s posted on Friday for more details!
