Significance of Work
Part A
Story time...
​
The work you do is significant to understanding Who We Are as Americans and as Citizens of our Communities. We owe each other the truth, verifiable facts and a different perspective.
​
Adapted from Amanda Marquez.
​
The work you put out in the world, you should be proud of. It represents your identities and ideologies and shows who you are as a person.
​
If you think, "this class is pointless, this class is boring/meaningless." Then it will be just that. But if you change the way you approach this work and the work you do as a student in a positive way, you change the outcome.
Workshop
Take out your Genre Mind map and start working on your first genre!
​
Take this time to actually start drafting. We have a peer review due this week on your Genre #1 so this needs to be a legit draft.
-
Pair up with someone you want to peer review. Be sure you two make plans on when you are going to submit/review the genre. Be sure to put a link to your Genre #1 in the Blackboard Discussion Forum: Genre #1 Draft & Peer Review.
-
To peer review your fellow classmate, simply reply to their thread and write a response in the box.​
-
​
Actually work on something. Do NOT waste this time.
