Homework for conferences this week and for Thursday

For our conferences, come prepared to discuss how you plan to answer some of the questions about Project 3 for your reflective essay.

Here are the questions:

1. Why did you select the particular scenario you chose to work on?

2. Why did you choose to do the project in a certain genre (paper, presentation, video, website, etc.)?

3. How did you take into consideration the needs of your audience (our class)?

4. What did you do in order to strengthen your ethos in this project?

5. Did you try to address pathos? If so, how?

6. What difficulties did you encounter while working on the project?

7. What aspects of the project do you think worked particularly well?

8. If you could change the project in any way, what would you propose?

For Thursday, come ready to do the peer workshop on your draft for Project 3. Bring three paper copies of your printable projects, if working on a digital project that cannot be printed, please bring a computer in which you can show the project to others.

Here are the questions for workshop discussion:

1. What is the thesis?

2. Is the thesis proved/argued/explored (depending on the purpose of the project) during the course of the paper?

3. Are the sources introduced and properly cited?

4. Are there any parts of the project that you found confusing?

5. What was done particularly well in this project?

6. How could the project be improved?
