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!

Blog Prompt: RA Reflection

Hello class,

Just a reminder:  Rhetorical Analysis due on TUESDAY, hard copy, stapled, with rubric from Supplemental Guide attached.  Also, feel free to go to the writing center anytime between now and when it is due for some extra help on your paper AND 10 points of extra credit (redeemable once only for the RA, of course).

Also:  Blog post due tomorrow at NOON.  This should be a reflection on the RA process.  How did it go? Good/bad?  What worked well, what didn't?  More or less difficult than the OpEd?  What could you have done better?  What could I have done better, or the department, or whatever?  What would you change about it?  And so forth.

Word.  Keep it real this weekend and I'll see you all on Tuesday!
