Warm Up

On your running document for Warm Up's, respond to the following: 

  • Topic: I am studying ______________.

    • Question: Because I want to find out what/why/how ____________.​

      • Significance: In order to help my reader understand _____________. ​

​

Although you may have this drafted already, please revise and edit for this Warm Up. This is coming from the article "From Questions to a Problem" and, like the mind map, it should help you refine your Intersections project the more you work on research and developing new ideas. 

Genre #1: FYS Presentation Tips

Tips: 

  • Take deep breaths!

  • Write a script for your presentation. Beginning to end for your parts. This definitely does help with understanding how much time you will take to say your part but also that you are addressing what you need to.

  • You are having a conversation with your audience! Do just that...have a conversation. 

  • Be sure to have "sexy" titles on your presentation! 

  • Be sure that you are focusing on historical context...

  • The way you are connecting to your group members is through the theme. 

  • Practice! Practice! Practice!

  • Write our your notes on notecards?

    • Type up your part on a Word document and print out. Cut the section and paste to a notecard. 

  • Smile!

  • Nothing should be handwritten on the board...

  • Be sure that fonts, pictures, graphs, tables, etc. are at a reasonable size...

  • ​If you are struggling with something, please tell me!!!​

  • Be sure to have at least 3 credible sources for the presentation!

​

Genre #1 Workshop 

For the remainder of class, work on Genre #1. This could either be researching or even starting the actual genre. If you are starting the genre, check with me FIRST! I don't want you all to work on something and it is not what we are looking for.

 

Tips:

  • Genre #1 will have a Genre Justification. Go to Assignments & Due Dates>Intersections: Situations & Genres> Genre Justification. 

  • Social Media such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Websites, Snapchat are not genres. They are delivery systems for Genres. You need to clearly understand what genre you are using to reach your audience.
