Evals-- and Wednesday, Nov. 25.

Hi Everyone-  This post serves as two posts. 

Today, Monday, please complete the class evaluations, and then head to the library to work on your own to finish projects or essays.

For Wednesday, no in person class.  Please complete final projects, remembering to quote yourself, and complete any essays needing stars.

See you on Monday, Nov. 30.


Happy Thanksgiving!

Sample Entry

Please notice that the sample entry contains quotes from my own work that prove that I understand the definition.

Practice Entry:

Rhetorical Knowledge;

Gain experience reading and composing in several genres to understand how genre conventions shape and are shaped by readers’ and writers’ practices and purposes

Define:   This means I have read and can write different types of things, and I understand how the rules for those things are created by what other writers do.

Explain: I have read different types of essays in the class, and I’ve also read two novels.  I read Bron’s problem/solution essay, and I’ve read Robert’s rba.  Both of these helped me understand the conventions of those types of essays, but more importantly, I’ve written my own as well, and I know that different writing tasks have different rules.  For example, in my journals, there are no rules, and I often abbreviate or break the rules of grammar, because that writing is just for me.  Here is an example from my Journal:  “……………………………………………..”  What’s more, I have even combined genres in my article essay.  I had to use description, narration, research, and problem/solution, plus a little argument when I wrote, “……………………………………..”   This is an example of description.  In the same essay, when I wrote, “………………………………………………..” this is an example of research.  All of these examples show that I understand that different rules apply to different things.
