No Class Today // Instructions for Thursday

Hi everyone–

I apologize for the late notice, but I won’t be able to come in today. I have a very bad cough and I need to make sure it’s not COVID. I’d really rather not have to miss another class, but I think it’s the best decision all things considered.

There will be a discussion board post due on Thursday, which I will post later today, so please check the OpenLab for that. And assuming it’s not covid, we will have class on Thursday in person. 

Also, if I have not yet approved your Research Question proposal, please email me with your question.

Thanks in advance for understanding and I’ll hopefully see you on Thursday.

Post due Thursday 10/27 (Before Class)

For Thursday (10/27) – To be completed BEFORE class

PART I

VIEW/CLOSELY READ the following slideshow on rhetorical analysis: Source Entry Slides _RAB

PART 2

FIND/CHOOSE one source from your research and
POST the following using the Category “UNIT 2” ONLY

      1. WRITE a summary of the source (1 long paragraph or 2 shorter paragraphs)
      2. PASTE 2-3 of the most important quotes from the source
      3. COMPLETE a Rhetorical/Genre Analysis Worksheet for your source and then
        WRITE 2-3 paragraphs of rhetorical analysis of the source based on your answers to the worksheet

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Homework for Tomorrow

Bring 1 Source from your research to class tomorrow. If it is a written article, I recommend printing it. If it is a video or audio source, bring headphones (and if it’s a video, something to watch it on).

In class, we will work on writing source entries, and look at a few different ways of “reading” sources. If you come to class tomorrow with one of your sources, you will be marked absent for the day.

Until then, take it easy and see you soon.
