Today's Goals

Learning Outcomes

Identify how their views of writing have changed as a result of the work they have done in the course
Demonstrate their ability to locate, read, evaluate, select and use (integrate) effectively information from appropriate sources with their own ideas

Habits of Mind

Responsibility is fostered when writers are encouraged to recognize their own role in learning.
Metacognition is fostered when writers are encouraged to reflect on the texts that they have produced in a variety of contexts.

Key Terms

Composing Processes: planning, researching, drafting, sharing and responding, revising, editing, publishing, reflecting
Reflection, metacognition, transfer/expansion

Warm Up

Choose the person nearest to your left, and read their Reading Response #1. When reading their work, consider the following questions:

Where does the student answer the prompt questions?
Where does the student explain the main idea of the text?
Where does the student offer examples to support their explanation?
Are these examples appropriate for the audience?
Where does the student offer textual evidence for their interpretation of the texts main idea?
Where does the student explain how their textual evidence supports their interpretation?
What can the student write in order to fulfill the above requirements?

After you read their work, with these questions in mind, offer the student 2-3 pieces of feedback by replying to their thread in Blackboard. In the Subject line, type "Reading Response #1 PR." Your feedback should be specific and actionable.

Moreover, your feedback should include a "because clause," meaning you should always offer a clear reason for your suggestions/feedback. Feedback should focus on "higher-order" issues such as structure, developing examples, making connections to prior knowledge, meeting the requirements of a standard response as is broken down by the 7 questions above.

Your feedback should help the author expand and explain their attempts to make meaning from the texts. Avoid commenting on grammar and spelling, and avoid non-actionable comments like "make this clearer," or "This is good/bad," etc.

Reading Response and Discovery Log Discussion

Let's discuss why and how we do Reading Responses...

Let's look at some examples...
Why do you think we are reading and responding to this textbook?
What questions/concerns do we have about the readings/reading response?

Discovery Log Discussion

Let's discuss why and how we do Discovery Logs?

Let's look at some examples...
Why do you think we are researching? How should we be researching?
What questions/concerns do we have about the Discovery Logs?
What do you do if you want to research something different for DL#2?
