Class 2 8/29

three important take-aways from our first commenting assignment:

  1. it’s great to respond to each other
  2. we can write more–and should get a sense of how long our text is
  3. we can enhance our comments using links, media, etc, and adding @ mentions

Working on our first glossary entries:

  • choose a word you want to add to the glossary, using our course documents (syllabus, grading guidelines, learning outcomes, course site) as the sources for that word
  • examples: curator, plagiarism, ramifications, prerequisite, syntax, eurocentric, conventional, cross-sensory, consensus, contemporary, exigencies, adequate, typographical, critical, metacognitive, writ, synthesizing, arbitrary, inclusivity, juxtapositions
  • define it
  • now put that passage in your own words
