For the 8-8:50 class, I forgot to mention the cyber-assignment for the book report essay. See Sept. 30 post and complete by Friday: http://professorwandasposse.blogspot.com/2013/09/today-in-class-we-shared-books-reviews.html
Secondly, as you read your chosen books, look for these moves in the author's writing. How many perspectives does he or she include? How does the writer differentiate his or her views from another person(s)'?
Does the writer agree and disagree with a difference? How does the writer make the audience care about the topic?
How does the writer connect the ideas logically while keeping the on-going conversation in view? Are you ever confused? Why? If not, what can you learn from this kind of writing?
The moves the authors in They Say share are not intuitive; they come from practice and skilled application of certain critical reading and writing values or principles. For the next essay, I want to see students use the templates to strengthen areas of their writing which your analysis (over the course of the exercises in chapters 5-9) shows needs improvement.
