Hey alls,
So I know I'm posting this prompt late, and that most of you have already responded to it in your blogs, but just in case...
Your blog post that was due at NOON today was to have been a potential thesis statement for your Opinion Editorial.
Also, don't forget that the first draft (at least 500 words) of your OpEd is due Monday at midnight.
Another also: conferences are next week. I'll post the schedule for them sometime tomorrow.
Hope you're having a great 3-day weekend!

Blog Prompt: OpEd Brainstorm
Hello alls,
By NOON TOMORROW (Saturday) please post a brainstorm for your OpEd topic. This can be in paragraph form, a bulleted list, or whatever. Your topic can be, essentially, anything--as long as you have a persuasive point.
Also, remember I'm not requiring comments for this week. Your blogs should all be up on my blogroll this weekend. :-)

Blog Prompt: 5 Background Sources
Hello alls,
Just a reminder: you have another blog post due tonight at midnight. This is a simple one: I just want you to link us to 5 background sources you've looked at that somehow inform your topic. Give a brief rhetorical situation for each one--nothing fancy. If you weren't in class today, contact me and we'll work out what you can do with this. If you have any questions let me know.
Happy researching!

2 Blog Prompts
Hello class,
Your prompt for TONIGHT is to reflect on the RA process--how did it go? What went well? What didn't go well? What would you change if you could redo the process? What do you think could the program, or myself, be doing better to help you? How did it compare to the OpEd process? Reflect on these questions and your overall feelings on the RA process.
Your blog prompt for TOMORROW (that's right, you need to post it by midnight on WEDNESDAY) is to post one, or a few, potential Issues Paper topics. You can post one topic and brainstorm about it in detail, or two or three potential topics. You must, however, come up with 2-3 potential RESEARCH QUESTIONS for each potential topic--these will guide your research as you begin to immerse yourself in the library on Thursday.
Great job on the RAs! See you all on Thursday.

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:

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:
