UPDATE: 10.30.08

READING: I will assign a student essay for you to read over the weekend in class today (Thursday). You will be reading the essay through a critical lens, so be sure to acknowledge when the student-writer both succeeds and does not succeed within his/her essay, suggesting alternatives in either case. Also, ask yourself: Does the student-writer employ the rhetorical terminology from Envision properly? Does (s)he address the terms, vis-a-vis the text they chose, using SPECIFIC examples? Are you convinced by the argument they are making about the rhetorical structure and devices of the text they analyze?

Here is the dedicated link that I promised in Thursday's class: Ryan's Rhetorical Analysis.

WRITING: For this week's writing assignment, you will be asked to compose a 300 word blog-post that contains 2 hyperlinks and 1 image/video on the topic of your choosing. Assignments should be posted to your blog by Sunday, November 2nd @ midnight.

Your first assignment for next week, will follow the same parameters as the writing assignment above. This second post will be due by Wednesday, November 5th @ 7:00PM.
