1. Set up your blog in Blogger, and send me the URL. I will create a post with each classes' blogs so that we can see what we're doing :).
2. Do the assignment below and post it to your blog.
3. Read Chapter 6 in Lunsford (Everything's an Argument), and read the excerpt from Johnson's Interface Culture that's posted below (in Outside Readings).
Assignment to be posted on your blog:
Using the article that you found in Google Scholar, write a one to two paragraph analysis of the text, exploring the rhetorical context of the article. Don't just tell me whether the intent of the article is to inform, to convince, to explore, to help, etc., tell me something about the article, about the author's main argument, and about the rhetorical context of the article. Use specific examples from Chapter 1 in Lunsford to support your reflection, and make sure to cover the questions "Who is arguing? What purpose is the writer trying to achieve? To whom are they directing their argument?"
This assignment will be worth 20 points, and will be due Tuesday before the start of class.

Hey Mrs. Moody,
ReplyDeleteI was looking over the assignment for Core 1. When do we have to have a rough draft, or any of the single parts due to you in class?

ReplyDeleteTo answer Bradford's question - we will be completing Part I in class, Part II will be due over the weekend (by Monday the 1st), and Part III by Tuesday the 2nd. We'll have a draft due the 4th for a peer review and you can visit during office hours for a conference if you wish either that Tuesday or Thursday (Tuesday it will have to be after 2:30 as I have a meeting on the 2nd).
