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 locate, read, evaluate, select and use (integrate) information effectively from appropriate sources with their own ideas

​

Habits of Mind

  • Meta-cognition is fostered when writers are encouraged to use what they learn from reflections on one writing project to improve writing on subsequent projects.

  • Responsibility is fostered when writers are encouraged to act on the understanding that learning is shared among the writer and others—students, instructors, and the institution, as well as those engaged in the questions and/or fields in which the writer is interested.

​

Key Terms

  • Reflection, meta cognition, transfer/expansion

  • Research as Learning / Information Literacy

Reading Discussion 

Readings:

Naming What We Know Threshold Concept 3.0

Framework for Information Literacy "Authority is Constructed and Contextual"

​​​

Group A, B, & C: 

  • "An ideology is a system of ideas and beliefs that together constitute a comprehensive world. We make sense of the world around us through the ideologies to which we have been exposed and conditioned. Ideologies are both formed and sustained by a variety of factors, including religions, economic systems, cultural myths, languages, and systems of law and schooling...Writing is always ideological because discourses and instances of language use do not exist independently from cultures and their ideologies...Writers are not separate from their writing and they don't just quickly and seamlessly adapt to new situations."​​

    • Read
    • Consider taking what you think you understand and form that into a question to receive confirmation or dis-confirmation from the group
    • Consider taking what you understand and develop questions that will help you apply your understanding to your own experiences (Moving from abstract theory to concrete application)

Group D& E: 

  • "Information resources reflect their creators’ expertise and credibility, and are evaluated based on the information need and the context in which the information will be used. Authority is constructed in that various communities may recognize different types of authority. It is contextual in that the information need may help to determine the level of authority required."
