  • Reflection, metacognition, transfer/expansion

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.
