Warm Up

  • Looking back at this semester, what is one thing you think you did well? 

  • What is something that you are proud of? 

  • What is something you struggled with this semester? How can you turn that into a goal for next semester?

  • Be sure to follow the directions for the RO. Especially the steps for the Writing & Rhetoric SLO's

Genre Workshop

Remember that your projects should:

 

  •  Advocate, organize, and/or promote some kind of change through writing. Think of how your intersections demonstrate a journey of justice!

  • Demonstrate your ability to analyze rhetorical situations in order to identify options and make appropriate choices that will enable you to use writing to achieve specific purposes

  • Demonstrate their ability to locate, read, evaluate, select, use, and effectively integrate information from appropriate sources with your own ideas

  • Demonstrate control of situation-appropriate conventions of writing.

​

Always ask yourself/Questions for Feedback:

 

  • How does what I am about to write/compose/create help me achieve my purposes?

  • How does what I am about to write/compose/create help me reach my audience? 

  • How does what I am about to write/compose/create demonstrate that I have a clear and distinct understanding of who my audience is?

  • How does the language I am using demonstrate that I have a clear and distinct understanding of who my audience is? 

  • How does the formatting, diction, content I am using demonstrate I am engaging in a particular genre? 

  • How does what I am writing/composing/creating demonstrate that I am making specific choices to achieve specific purposes instead of just using a format/medium/delivery system to write a paper in disguise? 

  • Consider every question you have learned to use in this class while you are writing/composing/creating these drafts.

​​

Steps: 

  1. Pull up your work at the front of the class and walk us through it. What do you have? What are you trying to achieve? 

  2. We will all provide feedback as a class. How many ideas can we offer?
