Outlines, Evaluations, and Citations

My assignment design for Essay #1 confused some of my students. They were prepared to write a position paper on a controversial topic when I explained that I was actually asking them to write about source evaluation (strategies, arrangement, etc.). To remedy this confusion, we created a skeleton outline of the essay as a class.

This week, I will continue a discussion of source evaluation and citation. The final draft of Essay #1 is due on Friday, 09.29.06. Also on Friday, we will begin to talk about RUG's Chapter 2, rhetoric as a means of developing personal identity/ethos, and my version of the Portrait Playlist assignment (to be due the following Friday, right before October Break).

All handouts/assignment sheets will be posted on my child page of "106 Materials" as I complete them. Comments are welcome.
