Today's Goals

Learning Outcomes

Demonstrate their ability to analyze different rhetorical situations (in academic, workplace, or civic contexts),

Habits of Mind

Curiosity is fostered when writers are encouraged to conduct research using methods for investigating questions appropriate to the discipline
Engagement is fostered when writers are encouraged to find meanings new to them or build on existing meanings as a result of new connections

Key Terms:

Composing Processes: planning, researching, drafting, sharing and responding, revising, editing, publishing, reflecting
Rhetorical Situation: audience, purpose, context, exigency

Warm Up

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

In which ways has your own understanding of freedom been complicated by Dr. Costanzo's lectures?
- The concept of freedom is not black and white...how do you think freedom has evolved?

Reading Discussion

Readings:

Naming What We Know Threshold Concept 1.0
Framework for Information Literacy's "Introduction"

Groups:

Each group needs to discuss the importance of their assigned sections. Pick at least one quote and example to discuss with the class. For the example, try to connect the section your group is discussing to something you have, or are, reading for History! Add group notes to the Google running document!

Group A: NWWK Discuss first two paragraphs
Group B: NWWK Discuss paragraphs 3&4
Group C: NWWK Discuss paragraphs 5&6
Group D: FIL First paragraph
Group E: FIL Second paragraph

What do we mean by rhetorical situation?

How does this add to our conversation from Wednesday on Metaconcept and Threshold Concepts?

Workshop

For the remainder of class, work on anything you need to do for this LC. If you have any questions/comments, please ask now! Do not wait until Sunday to figure out what you need to do.

Some advice?

This LC has a lot of work due on Sunday's. Some people have already turned in their Week 3 Discussions!

Please, do NOT wait until Sunday to do all or even some of the work. All this reading and writing is part of your own process.

Practice giving yourself deadlines and working throughout the week to get stuff done! Try using the Pomodoro Method...
