Today's Goals

Learning Outcomes​

  • Demonstrate their ability to use their analyses of rhetorical situations to identify options and to make appropriate choices that will enable them to use writing to achieve specific purposes,

  • Demonstrate their ability to collaborate effectively as members of diverse teams / groups of writers

​

Habits of Mind

  • Engagement is fostered when writers are encouraged to find meanings new to them or build on existing meanings as a result of new connections

  • Creativity is fostered when writers are encouraged to take risks by exploring questions, topics, and ideas that are new to them

  • ​

Key Terms

  • Composing Processes: planning, researching, drafting, sharing and responding, revising, editing, publishing, reflecting

  • Rhetorical Situation: audience, purpose, context, exigency

FYS Graded Presentations

Be sure to upload your presentation slides to the Blackboard Discussion forum: FYS Slides! 

​

Please be aware that the credit for FYS is dependent on you actually attending and presenting at FYS!

Final Reflective Overview Update

For the Final RO, this will be counting in Sociology, Seminar, of course, Writing & Rhetoric. 

​

I have posted the Final RO template in Blackboard> Readings & Templates> Final RO template. 

  • Be sure to note how to put together the RO based on the directions on the template. 

  • Be sure that you note the comments I left on the midterm rubrics. If you want to be regraded on something from the midterm portfolio, be sure to give me your rubric before the last day of class and tell me what you would like to be regraded!

​

  • I have also drafted a rubric for the Final Portfolio which can be found under the Templates folder in Blackboard.
