Homework for Thursday 10/9

Today in class we discussed Writing Project #1. This is not a small assignment. In light of this, I am assigning NO other homework between today, Tuesday 10/7 and the day that the Stage 1 of the project is due to be completed, Tuesday, 10/14. There will be no readings and no blog entries due. Your only responsibility is to work on this assignment, Writing Project #1.

Having said this, for this Thursday, 10/9:

1. Please bring those five articles to class that I asked you to bring for today (Berkenkotter, Selzer, Sommers, Flower/Hayes, Rose). Please bring hard copies of each article. No need to print new copies if you have already printed them out and annotated them.

2. I would advise you to get started on conducting your think-aloud protocol. I will allow time on Thursday for discussion of Writing Project #1. If you already have a head start on the project, you may be able to raise questions about the process and talk about how things are going. Again, I advise you to get the actual writing of the essay (in response to Prompt #1 or 2) out of the way before Sunday 10/12 so that you can devote Monday and what time you have on Tuesday to transcribing the tape.

Any questions, let me know.
