Library

Hey alls,

FYI, we're meeting in the library today (2232 HBLL).  In fact, we'll probably be meeting there for the rest of the semester so you all have time to work on your MAs.

IP Reflection (Blog Prompt)

Class,

Your final blog prompt is to write another reflection--this time regarding the Issues Paper.  You guys know the drill by now; write about the process, what went well, what didn't go well, what you or I or the program could have done better, etc.  Once you've written this post, rejoice!

Friday Blog Post

So we won't be holding class on Friday, but I am requiring you to visit the Writing and Research Labs at least once in lieu of class time.  You'll also need to write a blog post, due Friday at midnight, in which you talk about your experience at one of the labs--was it helpful for you?  What did/did not go well?  What are your plans for your draft?  Etc.

Also, remember that the rough draft of the IP is due MONDAY at midnight (changed from Friday at midnight).  We'll also be holding class on Monday as usual, instead of conferences.

Blog Prompt: 5 Background Sources

Your blog prompt for this weekend (post due tomorrow--Saturday--at noon) is to give me four background sources.  Remember that a background source is something that broadens/deepens your understanding of your topic, but not necessarily something you will use to prove your persuasive point (background sources are often too general to use in specific projects).

I need the TITLE and RHETORICAL SITUATION of each of your four background sources posted to your blog.  By noon tomorrow.  Make it work, designers (if you get that joke and know where the reference is from, and you post the correct answer to the comments, you'll get a point of extra credit--w00t).

Two Blog Posts

Oops...so I forgot to post the prompt on Monday.  Here was the assignment:

Come up with three potential topics for your Issues Paper.  Express the potential topic briefly along with two specific questions that could guide your research for that topic.

So that's that.  Now, for tonight, you have another blog post due:

Choose one of your potential topics from your previous post and write a tentative thesis for that topic.  You are encouraged to use the thesis template that we discussed in class today.

Happy blogging!

RA Reflection Post

Blog Prompt due TONIGHT at MIDNIGHT:

Write a reflection on the RA process.  This will be a similar post to your previous OpEd Reflection:  What went well/badly during the RA process?  What aspects did you like/dislike?  How did this process compare to the OpEd?  What did you enjoy/not enjoy about the RA assignment in general?  How could the process have gone better?  Etc.

Also, remember your RA itself is due TOMORROW at midnight!

Blog Post Due Tomorrow (Wednesday)

Hey class,

First of all, no blog post due tonight (Tuesday/Monday because we're at BYU and sometimes Tuesdays are Mondays...).

Second of all, you DO have a blog post due TOMORROW night.  You are to compare the peer review process from the OpEd to the peer review process we had for the RA.  Did you think it was more/less useful?  Why or why not?  What worked better, or worse, than the peer review for the OpEd?  Etc.

Writing Prompt for the Weekend

Hey class,

Once more, you have the opportunity to write a blog post on a topic of YOUR CHOICE!  Act now!  Well, act by noon tomorrow.  As in post it by noon tomorrow.  I'll recap:  you have a blog post due by noon tomorrow (Saturday), and you can write on whatever topic you wish.  Have a great weekend!

Yet Another Blog Post

I know, I know, I'm awful at getting these up on time.  So sue me.  (Please don't sue me.)

Your blog post for Wednesday was to (1) list all the elements of figurative language that you could find in the article/blog you are analyzing, and (2) show a concrete example of two of those figures of language.  That's it!
