==============================

 

Hi Class, today, we will:

1–Discuss Midterm Grades

2–Freewrite on how Unit 2 is going

3–Introduction Peer Review

4–Revise and Present Research Questions and Intro Ideas

5–Rhetorical Analysis Class Work

6–Return IH Essay

HOMEWORK: for Monday, March 28, bring in a draft of one annotation (typed/printed, 250 words minimum). Here are the instructions for this document:

THREE annotations/sources (the final draft of each annotation should be at least 400 words), each with a corresponding bibliography entry which includes :

      • 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.
