This Week's Conferences and Thursday's class

For our conferences this week, you should come with your group. You can ask any questions you still have about the ad parody. If you want to bring the video with you and show it to me, that would be great. If not, we could look at your analysis or anything else you want to discuss.

You also want to bring a draft for your individual reflective essay, by which I mean that you need to know which questions you want to address and how you plan to go about it. Remember that while you only need one analysis, you each need to write your own reflective essay. If you no longer have your reflective essay handout, see the questions at the end of this post.

Here's the itap remote access webpage for those of you working on websites for one of your projects:

This Thursday we're meeting at SC 277. You need to have your video as well as your written analysis with you. Please bring earphones so you can listen to each other's parodies.

REFLECTIVE ESSAY DIRECTIONS

When you turn in your project, it should be accompanied by a Reflective Essay. Your essay should be between one and two pages long and double-spaced.

In this essay you’re going to answer at least four of the following 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?

Do not number the questions, but write your response in essay form.
