Hello alls,
As you know, you have a blog post due tonight. The prompt is simply to post your RA thesis, along the lines of the thesis template we discussed in class today (which has been emailed to you). This should be the thesis you will be using FOR your rhetorical analysis. Good luck and good weekend!

2 Blog Prompts
Hello alls,
If you haven't posted the reflection on the OpEd process, please do that asap (it should be a post reflecting on how the OpEd writing process went--was it successful, what did you like/not like about it, what worked didn't work for you, about peer review and conferencing and the writing center and so forth).
Also, you have a blog post that is due TOMORROW AT 4PM--repeat, it is due tomorrow (Friday) at 4PM instead of the normal midnight time. In this post you should choose ONE of the blog posts on which you've been considering writing your rhetorical analysis and provide the following:

When I look at your blogs this weekend I'll then let you know what I think about the blog post you've chosen, and let you know whether you're on the right track or not.
Happy writing, and see you Tuesday!

Hello class (of Fall 2011),
Things have been crazy these first few weeks, but I think I'm finally getting on track (and getting everything updated--if I've missed anything, let me know!). A few items to remember:
First of all, there is NO CLASS tomorrow (Tuesday 12 Sept) because I will be conferencing with each of you. The schedule for conferences is posted below.
Second, I AM requiring a blog post from you by midnight tomorrow (Tues.)--this is a free post; you can write it about anything. In conjunction with that, remember to stay on top of commenting on others' blogs--5 (thats FIVE) comments per week! :-D
Also, remember that you have ANOTHER draft of your OpEd due this Friday at 4PM (emailed to me, as usual).
Regarding conferences: ALL conferences are in (or near) my office: 3004 JKB. I'll either be in that room or on a desk nearby; just be in that area and I'll flag you down. And please keep to your assigned time. If you are late, I'll likely not be able to meet with you and we'll have to reschedule. For those who aren't on the conference list: you may take any of the available times (just let me know in the comments), or email me (Brandon is the only one to have done that so far).
So, here's the schedule in case you forgot:
TUESDAY 13 Sept

2:10 Josh

Blog Prompt
Hello alls,
Your blog prompt, due TONIGHT (Monday 1 Aug) AT MIDNIGHT, is to create an outline for your research paper. Look at what you have so far, and see how it fits into the formulas/outlines we discussed on Friday. Post the outline, including specific points and how they are contributing to your thesis, and tlak about what you may need to still include, what you may need to cut, etc. If you already have an outline, great--post it, and talk about what may need to change still.
I'll see you each at conferences and in class on Wednesday!

IP Thesis
Hello alls,
Don't forget your blog prompt for tonight: write out a tentative IP thesis statement. It doesn't have to be something you'll necessarily stick with, but it has to be enough to direct your research for the rest of this week. The idea is that you'll specify/narrow your topic as you go. But in order to start, of course, you need a direction.
Also, don't forget that we'll be in the Library on Wednesday AND Friday (2232 HBLL). See you there--you'll hopefully get a lot of research done this week!

Blog Prompt
Hello class,
Look at me, posting the blog prompt so promptly :-). I therefore expect you to get your blog posted on time as well--tomorrow (Saturday) at noon. Here's the prompt:
Write a reflection on the Rhetorical Analysis process. Ask yourself similar questions that you did when reflecting on the OpEd process--what went well, what didn't, and why, etc. Also, compare it to the OpEd process. Was it better? Worse? Why? Etc.
Have a great weekend--see Harry Potter if you get the chance. Its AWESOME. And I'll see you all on Monday (with hard copy drafts of your RAs, with rubric attached, in MLA format!).

Belated Blog Prompt...!
Hello class,
I know, I know, I didn't post the prompt yesterday as I said I would. I apologize. I notice there are quite a few of you that didn't post last night as well, so here's the deal: if you get your post up by midnight TONIGHT, I'll give you credit. If not, I won't. OK, here's the prompt...
Analyze how the article that you have chosen for your Rhetorical Analysis uses various forms of figurative language. List as many of these forms as you can, and discuss whether or not the author uses them effectively. If appropriate, integrate this analysis into your Rhetorical Analysis (if you haven't already). Good luck!

TWO Blog Prompts*
*Unless you already did the first one on Saturday
So here's the rub: I know I forgot to post the prompt for your blog post on saturday, and because of that I'll allow those of you who haven't posted it yet to post it by midnight tonight along with your post for today. Here's the prompt:
Write a reflection on the OpEd process. Discuss the following questions (or any others that come to mind): How did it go? What went well, what didn't go well, and why do you think so? What could have improved in the process? What could you have done better? What could I have done better? Did you enjoy it (relative to other writing assignments)?
And your writing prompt for today:
Write a thesis statement for your Rhetorical Analysis (using the components we discussed in class today--the thesis handout can be found online, through Blackboard). Also, write a body paragraph for your Rhetorical Analysis (again, using the elements we discussed in class--clear topic sentence, specific example, analysis, and discussing how it effects the audience).
Good luck! See you all on Friday!

Hello alls,
You have a blog post due tonight at MIDNIGHT. The prompt is to analyze the claims, reasons, and assumptions within your Opinion Editorial (as we did with a number of rhetorical situations in class today). You can do this in any format you would like that is helpful to you (outline, paragraphs, whatever).
Also, I'm still waiting on two videos (Group 1: Linking Marks and Group 3: Enclosing Marks). Get them to me asap! Thanks!
