Homework due W. Mar. 11

If you don’t have prewriting to draw on, write 500-750 new words towards your paper. Focus your efforts on specific moves: map the conversation, come-to-terms with important sources, forward and counter specific critics, lead your reader to your two-part complaint+pitch style thesis.

If you have prewriting to draw from, feel free to use that, but please a) write some new stuff (at least 300 words) and b) rework paragraphs with prewriting in it to improve them. To rework them, you could:

  • add more detail,
  • improve topic sentences by using keywords from your thesis to connect them back,
  • improve the context introducing quotes by rewriting it using the coming-to-terms moves,
  • improve commentary following quotes or paraphrases by rewriting them as forwarding or countering moves,
  • make improvements in signal phrases/verbs, voice markers, and pivot words.

Countering

Homework due M. Mar. 9

Activity 1

Look through your readings until you find one or more of your authors who makes one or more of the countering moves. Make an annotation in the margins where you indicate which forwarding move the passage is making. Take photos of at least 3 locations where one of your authors makes a countering move and post it on your ePortfolio.

Activity 2

Find one claim by one writer who you agree with. Write a chunky paragraph in which you first come to terms with his or her article as a whole, then move your reader’s focus to the smaller claim you picked out. In your framing of the writer’s claim, be sure to indicate who s/he is replying to and for what purpose. Explain the writer’s claim in such a way that your reader can understand it without reference to the original. Then make one of the countering moves (taking another side, uncovering values, dissenting) to integrate the original writer’s ideas with your own. Finish your paragraph by saying why what you wrote matters.

Activity 3

Complete any homework assignments from this week that you missed and post them on your ePortfolio.
