Sorry class, I know some students wanted one-on-one help today.

Seems I have a cold of some sort (I’m testing for Covid every day, and so far I’m negative). It hurts to too much to talk for an hour.

Please email your questions, and I’ll do my best to respond quickly.

Cheers,

Prof. Scanlan

Note: Please number each of the six parts for each Annotation! See the instructions.

• • • 1–MLA citation of the source
    • 2–a summary of the source’s content
    • 3–a reflection on that source which includes your opinion of what you’ve read
    • 4–a brief rhetorical analysis (an evaluation of the author’s credentials, writing style, and purpose, and why you think the author is credible or not)
    • 5–a short analysis of why you believe the author chose that genre and why it was a good or bad choice for the intended audience
    • 6–You must include at least one key quote from each source.

Note: Each of these three sources will need to be a different genre.  That is, you can’t have three magazine articles or three YouTube videos.

Note: Students may not use an Encyclopedia for any of the three sources. But students may, of course, read an encyclopedia for beginning information.
