In class today A-block finished the technology discussion and F-block discussed aspects of the school before transitioning into determining the primary purpose of each of the readings in the packet. You will need a sentence about each piece in the packet for the group work tomorrow. (If you didn't finish, finish tonight.)
Then I gave you the homework. First, I assignment each of you a reading from the packet. Tonight you will write a summary, analysis, and evaluation of the reading that will be between 150 and 200 words in length.
(You might being wondering "What should I analyze?" Analyze the use of relevant rhetorical strategies (including structure and style) to persuade and the presentation of details to inform. You might also be wondering "How do I evaluate?" Evaluate the effectiveness of rhetoric and the apparent quality or reliability of the information. You might consider comparing your piece's effectiveness with others in the packet.)
You must have this work in class tomorrow (Wednesday, February 27).
This work has two purposes: (1) we are practicing the sort of writing we will do when creating annotated bibliographies later this term, (2) we will be creating webs/maps in class tomorrow (2/27) using your purpose sentences and your summary/analysis/evaluation writing.
