Kickstarter Due/ New Genre

Turn in your Kickstarter on Paper.
Turn in Language Use in Kickstarter. ... Analogies?

New genre -- summary/response. Pat Bourne questions? You do some writing....

Subjective vs. objective?

Now you read an example essay that is doing summary/ response (download from Moodle, do "Save As"  and add YOUR LAST NAME to the file name).

Then colorize YOUR copy of the essay, using these directions:

1. Make the first and last sentences in the paper red. The first should be a hook. The last is a “clincher.”

2. Italicize the title and author of the article I'm writing about.

3. Make the thesis orange.

4. Make the summary yellow.   

5. Make any response to the content of the article pale blue. 

6. Underline any quotes. These are places that used the exact words of the article.

7. Make BOLD any time I used “the writer”  or "the author" or "the article"– these are called author tags (and would have used a name if there was one on this article).

When you are done, go to Moodle to upload your colorized version in the forum there. Be sure to follow the instructions so that you answer the required questions as you post.

Now you have to do some close reading and note-taking of an article. See handout.

Homework:

1. Read and take a page of notes on "Black Men in Public Space" by Brent Staples.

2. Prepare to write an summary/ response of the article during class on Thursday.

3. Daybook check on Thursday.
