Class Announcement 5/1/08

Our final essays (E4) are due today! Last class day too!
The entire "essay submission packet" is due today.
--Late essays lose ten points (-10) and MUST be turned in no later than Thursday 5/8 or the grade is a zero.

Today in class we will share these scholarly jewels in small groups and write a draft letter to accompany our submission packets.

Then we will have a chance to discuss the Final Exam

NO CLASS next Tuesday--Exams
Our Final Exams will be on Thursday 5/8 starting at our regular classtime and lasting 2 1/2 hours.

Once you login and check the class announcement, please get started immediately on the activities specified in the Draft 4-2 Activities sheet I hand out to you.

We will do a brief research journal entry first and then talk about them. Once we do that, we will go on to do peer response (only two required) and our writer's review. During class, I am going to try to check in with each of you.

Our Final Exams will be on Thursday 5/8 starting at our regular classtime and lasting 2 1/2 hours. A description of the final exam and how to prepare for it will be provided on Thursday 5/1.

Homework:
Final draft of Essay 4-2 is due next class. See instructions on the draft 4-2 activity sheet for what is required in the Essay Submission Packet.
(I should be in my office most of tomorrow to meet with any one who needs help.)

Note on Rewrites of Essay 3--rewrites must be turned in to me by no later than next Tuesday 5/6.

Today we will be working in small groups and sharing our freewriting drafts and discussing them.

Our goal will be to define our "thesis" and overall structure/plan for developing the paper. We will share these plans and troubleshoot them together.

Homework:
1) Research Journal entry--Title it "Writer's Review Draft 4-1"
Write about where you are in working on this project and how you will go about writing the first full draft (where you will incorporate support from your sources for you finding).
2) 1st full draft of the essay due next Tuesday. It is important to get this done as well and fully as you can since the final draft is due the next Thursday.

Today we will focus on sharing our annotated bibliographies and analyzing our "data" to find trends and patters that we can write about. Please post your annotated bibliography as soon as you can into the Forum called "E6 Annotated Bibliography." Also, turn your print copy in to me.
(Late Annotated Bibliographies lose 10 points and must be turned in within a week (by 4/29) or the grade is a zero on the assignment.)

We will start today by having you do a Research Journal entry seeking to come up with your plan for analysing this data. Then we will share these plans and talk about them.

Once we have a plan of attack, the rest of the period will be time for you to begin your analysis of this data.
<<HOW TO ACCESS THE OTHER CLASS>>
Click "The Place to Write" in the navigation on the upper left
Select the other section
Use this "Enrollment Key":
for 9:25 class it is 1302039
for 12:15 class it is 1302104

Homework:
1) You will want to spend a good amount of time analyzing this data. Use your "coding" and data gathering technique as you work. Troubleshoot it as you work and record your experience in your Research Journal.
2) Coding your data is one layer of analysis. The next layer will be to look for patterns and trends, correlations and connections in your coded items. Take time also for this "second level" analysis. Here is where you will really begin to make connections.
3) Write your "zero draft"--this is an initial 30 minute freewriting draft exploring your tentative findings at this point. What can you crystalize as your chief finding? How does it play out in the sources? I recommend reviewing your data and notes before you write, but as you write put all notes aside. Try to write continuously without stopping for 30 minutes on your topic. Explore it backwards and forwards in words. Bring this zero draft to class (can be handwritten).

Today in class we will begin discussing research and strategies. Next we will use the article from Saposnik to discuss some key themes and interpretations of the novel. Finally, I hope to have some time in the computer classroom where you can continue to work on your annotated bibliography.
(Here is a copy of the example annotated bibliography I showed you in class. It is in Rich Text Format and when you click on the link it will ask to download the file to your computer.)

Homework:
1) Annotated Bibliography due next class (worth 25% of essay grade)
This bibliography should be in MLA Format and Documentation Style and it should be in electronic form as well (for posting). Please bring in a print copy with you.
***Note: The Annotated Bibliography can be single-spaced. Summaries of article should be indented two tabs.
2) Don't forget to keep your Research Notebook. Remember to date and even put the time of entries (if you have multiple ones in the same day).

We are into the last three weeks of school! Whoopee!

Today we will do a short discussion online on Jekyll and Hyde, and then we will be introduced to our essay assignment related to the novel.
Essay #4 Assignment sheet

In class we will begin "data gathering" sources for our Annotated Bibliography.
(See this site for a description of what an Annotated Bibliography is.) Example

Homework for next class:
1) Finish the novel (if you haven't finished already)
2) Read "The Anatomy of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" article I gave you and write a 1-2 page "Coming to Terms" piece on this reading. (It should help you understand the novel a lot better.) Please bring this homework in to class (can be handwritten).
3) Do some researching work for your Annotated Bibliography (due 4/22)

***Special Note: I am looking for some student volunteers to work on publicizing the Decision2008ATsac site. Let me know if you are interested.***

Today will involve two activities:

1. Discussing the first section of the novel.
2. Talking about our last essay and looking at a couple of essays, focusing our discussion on decisions and maneuvers of writing.

Homework:
1) Not finished with responding! Hah! You have a second chance--please finish peer responding by Sunday.
2) Finish reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, pp. 1387-1413

Today we will turn in our Political Video Analysis papers.
We will

2) Begin reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, pp. 1373-1387

Final Drafts due today.
(just kidding...April Fools)

Draft 3-2 due today (Final Drafts due 4/8). See Activity Sheet Draft 3-2

**************
No Class on Thursday! I will be attending a conference. I urge you to work together if you wish during our regular class time or use that time to work on your paper. If you would like special feedback on your draft, I invite you to email me and I will provide some response on Sunday (I return on Saturday). The best thing is to post the draft into The Writing Place (put in 3-2 forum will be fine).
**************

Homework:
Final draft of Essay #3 (draft 3-3) is due on Tues. 4/8. Be sure that you MLA Documentation is all complete. You will produce a print copy to turn in to me, but we will also post this essay within our Decision2008@SAC site. Take a look again at this site and think about how you believe these analysis pieces of videos should be included into the site.

Be sure to meet the assignment minimum requirements (or the grade can be no higher than a 70). See Citing Common Electronic Sources for help with handling websources.

Our next assignment will be based on the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. If you want a bit of a headstart, I urge you to start reading it now.

Today we will be looking at the research you have so far. We will discuss what kind of sources they are, how credible they are, and where they were found.

After looking at our research, we will take some time to discuss issues of writing and revision (by looking at some examples of essays from last essay).

Homework:
1) Draft 3-2 of essay is due next class . This draft should be in electronic format and should be a full-draft of the essay, hitting all three sections/areas of the paper. Don't worry at this point about having it perfect (grammatically or content-wise).

Look again at Rewriting to familiarize yourself with what you should be doing in each section (Defining the Project, Noting Key Words and Passages, Assessing Uses and Limits). You might even glance at the Forwarding and Countering chapters again because you may be doing these maneuvers as you write also.

Key quote from the chapter on Coming to Terms:
"There is a subtle but important distinction to make here: You don't quote from a text to explain what it means in some neutral or objective way. You quote from a text to show what your perspective on it makes visible. ...In deciding when to quote, then, the question to ask is not What is the writer of the text trying to say? but What aspect of this text stands out for me as a reader. Quote to illustrate your view of a text, to single out terms or passages that strike you in some way as interesting, troubling, ambigious, or suggestive" (20).

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great Spring Break. Now for the home stretch!

Today we will be doing a response to our draft 3-1. If you have your draft, please get started right away once you have read the class announcement. Draft 3-1 Activity Sheet.

If you have NOT done your draft 3-1, do it NOW! (Open a Word document and start writing--10 min. on each section of the paper. Post the draft by 35 minutes after the start of class AND do your response before next class and you will not have a late draft.)
_______________________________
Next we will focus some time on research.
--We will view a site on Web Search Strategies and learn about keyword searching techniques (that are also good for any electronic searching, even in electronic databases)
--We next will have time for you to try some of these search strategies with a partner on your research subjects
-------write out search questions (What are some views on Hillary Clinton's 3 AM call political video? What does the conceptual metaphor of moral accounting mean?)
-------formulate various searches (following the keyword search techniques) using different databases and search engines

Homework for next time:
1) Review section in your handbook on Researching. Or spend an hour (or more) reviewing material on researching from the Bedford Research Room.
2) Come to class with print copies of at least FOUR periodical or scholarly sources from your research on your topic. Bring in six and you get extra-credit. (We will discuss interviewing techniques next class.)
3) Keep working on your essay, particularly researching.

Today we will work in groups to study and understand our core reading from Lakoff. We also will share and discuss our invention exercises. It will also give us a chance to talk about and ask any questions about the assignment.

We'll spend the last part of class looking at a couple of writing pieces from last Essay and talking about revision choices.

Homework:
1) Draft 3-1 due when we return 3/25. (I expect you to turn in your Invention exercise on this day too, so remember to bring it.) This draft is due in electronic format.
2) "Inquire"--research, into your video and its subject
**Special note about inquiry/research: Be sure to context (WHEN/WHERE/HOW) in which the video was "published." What was going on at the time it was introduced and was it "entering into a conversation" that was ongoing. For instance, the Clinton 3 A.M. ad came out only days before Texas Primary voting and seemed to inject her position on the question of whether Obama is experienced enough to be President. Identifying the "Issue" or "Question" behind the purpose of the ad provides you another topic to research about. Find out about what the debate or questions are behind the video and what people have said about those issues/questions.**

Writing the 1st draft
Spend time studying your ad and seeking connections in it to Lakoff's ideas. Research Lakoff's ideas and how they might fit your video. Do some further researching on the video and the issues/questions behind it. Look again at our Invention exercise and see if you can add to it.

After spending time on this inquiry, sit down and write your 1st draft as a sort of freewriting draft. Look again, first, at the assignment sheet. While you write, have out the "Structuring the Essay" part of the essay assignment sheet.

Write your draft by freewriting from 10-20 minutes on each part:
--10-20 min. on Defining the Project of the Video
--10-20 min. on Noting Key Words and Passages
--10-20 min. on Assessing Uses and Limits
(Perhaps having Harris' Rewriting near by would help too.)

Draft 3-1 is due in electronic format for posting in class.

>>Late Essay #2s are due today (or the grade is a zero)<<

Today we will first discuss our Essay #3 Project Assignment Page

We'll look at a couple classic political videos and see if we can apply any of Lakoff's ideas:
Daisy Girl (1964)
Willie Horton (1988)

Next, we will post our video description into the Writing Place for class discussion. Be sure you include the link to the video also.

We will attempt to choose videos to work with--ideally, no more than one person per video.

Homework for Thursday:
1) Reread Lakoff. Study it.
2) Do this invention exercise on your ad. See list of ads.

We will open the class talking about our previous Hamlet Essay Project.

After we do that, we will start an introduction to "conceptual metaphors" and our next project related to Political Ads.

We'll look at an ad or two and discuss them.
Mike Gravel
Yes We Can
Hillary TV

Homework for next class:
1) Read Metaphor, Morality, and Politics by George Lakoff (given as handout in class or you can read it from the link)
2) Find a political ad either from YouTube or from a politicians website. Write up an critique of the ad where you try to analyze it using Lakoff's conceptual metaphors (particularly, the cluster of metaphors surrounding the Conservative metaphor of the family as the "Strict Father Model" or the Liberal metaphor of the family as the "Nurturant Parent Model."
Suggested approach:
a) Write a description of the ad (a kind of "coming to terms")
b) Reveal the way the conceptual metaphors are at work in the ad
Please have this as an electronic text so that we can post it into our online learning environment.

3) Look also at these two sites on Visual Rhetoric
definition of visual rhetoric
visual rhetoric for students--ppt from Purdue Writing Lab

Be sure to Vote AND Caucus today!

Final Drafts of the Hamlet Essay Project due today (at the beginning of class)
In class we will share our "retelling" pieces. The last twenty minutes of class, we will go to the computer classroom where you can do your Revision Analysis "Compare Drafts" if you need help with that (or any other printings)

Revision Analysis Pieces (with the copies of the Compare Draft) can be turned in any time today. For the essay to be "on time," this revision analysis piece must be turned in as well (along with the rest of the submission packet).

Homework for next class
1) Find one to three political videos from either YouTube of candidate sites and bring in the URL to this video on Thursday.
2) You could start reading the piece by George Lakoff that will be guiding our analysis of these videos. Here is the text we will be spring boarding our discussion from. If you want to dig deeper, look for Metaphors We Live By and/or Moral Politics, both by George Lakoff.

Today we will be doing peer response on our second drafts of the Retelling Hamlet project.

Please do two peer responses (and you can do up to two more (4 total) for extra-credit as long as they are completed by today. (Those who are absent are expected to do peer response by Sunday at the latest.) Once you complete peer response, I am going to ask you to do you r Writer's Review (if not completed in class, must be completed Sunday at the latest).
Draft 2-2 Response Sheet

1) Final drafts of the Retelling Hamlet project due next class. We plan to have a grand "retelling" performance in class, so be prepared to share and discuss your project.
Come to class with the print, final copy of your essay along with the entire essay packet. Details in the Draft 2-2 Response sheet.
2) Want to get a head start for our next project analyzing political videos? We will be using ideas from Dr. George Lakoff related to the conceptual metaphors of conservatism and liberalism as our "lens" for making our analysis. Here is the text we will be spring boarding our discussion from. Very interesting stuff. If you want to dig deeper, look for Metaphors We Live By and/or Moral Politics, both by George Lakoff.

The first part of class, we worked on an invention exercise related to Draft 2-2, particularly asking us to think about the relationship of content, form, and purpose of our documents.
Draft 2-2 Thinking (Word doc)

Homework for next class:
Draft 2-2 of the entire essay project due

Today we will be focusing on our Draft 2-1s. We will form peer groups and provide feedback. After the peer groups are done, we will have some time to do a Writer's Review (which really will be a sort of first draft of your "About" piece to accompany your "Retelling" piece).

See Draft 2-1 Guide

Homework for next class:
1) Do some "scholarly research" into your "insight" through the literature databases.

**NEW Assignment requirement:**
I want you to find at least two scholarly articles or artistic interpretations related to your insight that you include into your thinking and "performing" of your Retelling piece. You should find these in the literature databases or in books on Hamlet/Shakespeare you find in the library. Web sources are possible, but they must be scholarly in nature (i.e. not just posted by anybody, but material posted by academics and scholars). Literature Online seems like the best database, but try a number of them. You will eventually cite and discuss these other views toward Hamlet and your insight in your "About" discussion, refering to how you come to terms, forward, or counter (or even take an approach) them (i.e. you don't have to cite them within your retelling piece).

2) Work on your piece to have a complete 2-2 draft of the Retelling and About pieces for next Thursday.

Today we will be doing some collaborative brainstorming on your Retelling Hamlet piece. We will do this work within our online writing environment--The Write Place. Instructions provided within the Forum for this activity.

Next we will spend time doing investigations and inquiries into your "insight," and actually do some work on our first draft in class.

Investigate your "insight" within the criticism written on Hamlet--check out the databases on literature and literary criticism in the SAC Library: http://www.accd.edu/sac/library/LINKS/LIT_CRIT.HTM
Good databases to try:
--MLA International Bibliography
--Magill on Literature
--Literature Resourse Center

---Off campus access to these databases can be obtained with your PALS username and password

Homework for next time:
1) Read chapter 3 in Rewriting and write a brief "coming to terms" on the chapter.
2) Draft 2-1 of your Retelling Hamlet piece is due. Just focus in this draft on the "retelling piece." Don't worry about grammar or perfect form or any sense of perfection. Give it a go and see how it comes out. (I urge you if you feel stuck to just do a freewriting draft of your piece--just write)
3) I urge you to do inquiry work on your "insight." Keep track of all the information you get from your investigations so that you can appropriately cite it in your final product.

**************************************
Rewrites for the Antigone essay due Friday 1/22
Cinderalla rewrites due Friday too 1/22 (no more chances on the Cinderalla MLA exercise)
**************************************

What we are up to today--

1. We will start with a couple sappy love poems in honor of Valentines Day (why not!)
2. Next, we'll discuss the last part of Hamlet with a special emphasis on the notion of "foils."
   We'll talk about peoples ideas about the what the "readiness is all" means.
3. Then we will get our Essay #2: Retelling Hamlet essay topic and talk about it. We will look at "Gertrude Talks Back" on page 1334 as an example.
4. Lastly, we'll look at a couple of examples from imatatio exercise we did last class and discuss them.
5. Then you get your papers back!

Homework for next time:
1) Preliminary thinking for a topic: Skim back over the play. Reread it all if you are able, but at least re-read some parts. List for yourself some questions or things you noticed or things you were curious about that you thought of. Are there any connections you make to the play or within it? Bring this "sketchings" for your "insight" to class next time.
2) Read in Retellings pgs 1334-1347. These are some examples of "retellings" of Hamlet.
3) Read chapter 2, "Forwarding" in Rewriting. After you read it, write a brief "coming to terms" of that chapter too.
4) Everyone is able to rewrite their Essay #1. I only ask that these rewrites be turned in by the end of next week--2/22. Come see me for help!

Today we will begin in the regular classroom. We take about half the class to talk about Hamlet and look at particular passages (using the homework questions as our guide).

Once in the classroom, we will do an imitatio practice exercise building support from the text within our Body paragraphs.

Homework:
1) Finish reading Hamlet--pp 1281-1316.
2) Write a response to lines 184-186 on page 1310. What do you think these lines mean? What does it mean for Hamlet? How do you relate to these lines? (length 1 page min.)

Essay Topic--general description
As I have mentioned, you will be creating a "retelling" of Hamlet. That means you will creatively refashion some part of the play. It could be a creative filling in of a gap in the story or it could be seeing a scene from another angle. But this project is NOT about just about being clever for clevernesses sake. You will want to have some idea or message that you will want to communicate with our retelling. We will get models and ideas for our own "rewriting" and "retelling" from the rest of the casebook on Hamlet pp. 1318-1369. I urge you to skim through some of these text for next class.

The next assignment will have two parts: one part will be the "retelling" itself. The second part will be the critical explanation surrounding this "retelling" piece where you talk about how you are coming to terms, forwarding, or countering some aspect of the play or some other piece in the rest of the casebook text.

A detailed Essay Project description will be given 2/14

Look here to see today's in-class activities as well as the homework for next class.

Today we turn in our first essay--draft 1-3.

2. Read in Retellings pp. 1213-1238.

Today we are back in the old classroom to look at and discuss some second drafts of your Essay #1 (i.e. draft 1-2). (For those who miss today, you can access our Draft 1-2 review sheet here. You can evaluate your own essay and do a Writer's Review 1-2 on your own essay.

1. We will begin class reading and practicing the peer response on the Model Critical Essay available from the Writing Guides site.

2. Next, we will look at a couple of peer essays together following the peer response questions.

3. Last, we will have the final twenty minutes of class to do our draft 1-2 Writer's Review.

Homework:
1) The final draft of Essay #1 is due next class. This draft should be typed and in electronic format. Be sure that your essay is fulfilling all the essay requirements.
2) Read and review the guide on Sentence Structure and Punctuation. Use this guide to assist you in your own editing of your essay.

Reminder on late drafts:
Late Final drafts result in the lose of 10 points off your essay grade, and you have a week to complete the essay or the grade is a zero.
Late first or second drafts result in -5 points off your essay grade. (Peer response and writer's reviews must be complete before the next class for the essay to be considered "on time."

Today we focus on your first draft of Essay #1: Draft 1-1.

A Key to this Essay
Quote from Rewriting: "This book is about the writing that needs to go on around these traces, about what you need to do to make the work of others an integral part of your own thinking and writing. ...to engage with and rewrite the work of other thinkers" (Harris 2).

What aspect of this assignment involves with engaging with and rewriting the work of Sophocles (the writer we are studying)?
--The answer revolves around what you consider to be just and moral, unjust and immoral. You must have your own definition for these terms included in your essay (most likely in the introduction) which you then interrogate, illustrate, amplify through your paper and your discussion of the character you picked for the essay. (No dictionary definitions!)

Please follow the directions on the class instructions sheet for today.
--We will post our first drafts and just read them for the first twenty minutes.
--Next, we will do our first Writer's Review
--Last, you will work with a partner to define the logical structure for your essay

At the end of class you will also get back your Cinderalla MLA pieces back. Rewrites of this exercise are due next class for a regrade on the assignment.

Homework for next class:
1) Draft 1-2 (second draft of Essay #2 is due next class). This essay should be as fully developed and fully formed as you can make it at this point. Don't worry about having your documentation or grammatical correctness in order at this point--focus on content. I suggest that your review the materials related to writing a Critical Essay.
2) Rewrites on the Cinderella MLA piece due. For those who need it, here is the Purdue OWL MLA site again.
3) We will be reading more of Rewriting soon, so if you have time, I encourage you to keep reading ahead in the text.

Another busy day in English 1302!

Today's Activities:

1. We will look at a couple of posts on the crux of the play from yesterday and discuss them.

Welcome back to English 1302

Today we...

• reviewed our class policies first
• then we discussed how language works and different views of communication through two metaphors: the tennis ball and legos
• this led us to discuss the nature of reading and writing and how they are connected
• which led us to a more explicit discussion about reading interactively and some techniques for reading
• next we shared our writing pieces in small groups and perhaps heard a couple aloud
• this led us to discuss the nature of most academic writing--which is to support insights with evidence from the text
• our homework will be to take our writing piece and revise it by including quotes from the text to substantiate our claim/interpretation
  • Generial guide for using quotes | MLA Formatting and Style Guide | Example of quotes used for support

Homework for next class:

1. Skim Appendix A-4-A-40 and/or your handbook about writing and using MLA Documentation in academic papers. pp. 1320-1324. (Or look at the MLA website above).
2. Rewrite 1/15 assignment. Make sure you have a focus on one key connection or comparison you see between the versions of Cinderella. Use at least two quotes from the text to support or substantiate this connection. Limit the length to no more than 350 words. You must also demonstrate proper (and effective) use of quotes, MLA manuscript form and documentation style (yes, you need a Works Cited page).
3. Start Antigone, pp. 1005-1025 to scene II.

Today's activities:
