Final RO Update

For the Final RO, this will be counting in History, 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. 

  • For the SLO's from Writing & Rhetoric, focus on pieces of evidences from Writing. For the SLO's from History, use pieces of evidences from History and/or Seminar. 

    • Think: lecture supplements, lecture notes, quizzes, exam prep, exams, etc. ​

​

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

Genre #1 Workshop

For the remainder of class, work on your Genre #1! Here are some things to be thinking about: 

  • Be sure to reference your Intersections mind map but it is malleable. 

    • As you progress through research, your choices will change and that is ok! ​

  • If you are struggling with what genre to create, talk to me! I have spoken to several people but not everyone! I can help you with this. 

  • Be sure that whichever genre you decide to do in some way represents the research you have done and the purpose of Intersections project! 

​

Genre #1 Justification (as part of Genre #1, you will also work on the following to accompany it). This prompt can also be found on the Intersections tab under Assignments & Due Dates:

​

  • What is your genre?

  • ​When you discuss the genre/recognizable form you are choosing explain why you are choosing this genre? What does it do for you and your audience? How does it help you achieve your advocacy goals. Furthermore, what are the conventions of the genre and how do you plan on using them. 

  • How are you advocating for change?

  • Who is your audience for this genre? Why do they matter?

    • ​When you say who your audience is explain as much about them as you can. How old are they? how do they get their information on a daily basis? what is their prior knowledge? What will you have to do to understand this group of people in order to communicate with them effectively.

  • What is the delivery system for this genre?

  • Are you able to provide research in your genre? Discuss any research that you used from your DL's to support your Genre #1 but may have not been able to include in the genre itself. Be sure to include â€‹â€‹textual evidence from those sources.  

​
