Today's Goals

Learning Outcomes

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

  • Evaluate the ways in which they have become a more reflective (mindful, self-aware, thoughtful) writer

​

Habits of Mind

  • Responsibility is fostered when writers are encouraged to recognize their own role in learning

  • Creativity is fostered when writers are encouraged to represent what they have learned in a variety of ways

​

Key Terms

  • Genre and genre conventions

  • Composing Processes: planning, researching, drafting, sharing and responding, revising, editing, publishing, reflecting

​

Warm Up

Work on the script for the IA (3rd Genre) Presentation. 

​

After  about 10 minutes, then start working on your Genre #2!

Presentation Tips

Tips: 

  • Take deep breaths!

  • Write a script for your presentation. Beginning to end for your parts. This definitely does help with understanding how much time you will take to say your part but also that you are addressing what you need to.

  • You are having a conversation with your audience! Do just that...have a conversation. 

  • Be sure to have "sexy" titles on your presentation! 

  • Be sure that you are focusing on historical context...

  • The way you are connecting to your group members is through the theme. 

  • Practice! Practice! Practice!

  • Write our your notes on notecards. Type up your part on a Word document and print out. Cut the section and paste to a notecard. 

  • Smile!

​

A few words from Professor Marquez:

  • Presenters, please arrive early and prepared. Audience members, please arrive early. Do not walk into class late while another group is presenting or leave class while a presentation is in progress. If you are late, please wait until the group has finished presenting. Also, ALL PHONES NEED TO BE PUT AWAY. GIVE EACH GROUP YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION. Failure to do so is considered discourteous in academic settings. (Just sayin'.)

Genre #2

For the remainder of class, work on Genre #2.

 

Remember: 

  • Genre #1 & 2 need to have a Genre Justification for each. 

  • Genre #1 & #2 need to have peer reviews...

  • Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Websites, Snapchat are not genres. THey are delivery systems for Genres. You need to clearly understand what genre you are using to reach your audience.

  • Be sure to use the I-Create Lab for either Genre #1 or Genre #2. 

Conferences 

For our Friday class (4.12.19)  we will be having conferences. 

I am doing this to see where you are with the projects we are working on. You will need to meet me with your IA (Genre #3) group.

 

  • If you would like to see me earlier in the week, whether in office hours or Writing Center sessions, so that you can focus on other things on Friday, that is ok!

​

  • If you want to come see me during office hours, be sure to give me a heads up since I do schedule students into my calendar. I want to be sure to carve out time for those who carve out time to come see me. If you want to see me during Writing Center sessions, schedule an appointment online. 

​

For the conference, you must 

  1. Come as a group and be on time!

  2. Bring a GSD list of things you need to get done. Primarily for this class but remember the list you created on Friday...

  3. Sign up for a time here.
