  1. Week 2 Reading Rhetorically Questions?

  2. Writing Activity Consider a community that you belong to where you feel that you can quickly catch the drift of an in-progress conversation (i.e. other triathlon athletes, or regulars on World of War Craft, attendees at a Star Wars Convention). What are some of the “hot topics” of conversations in this communities? What might exclude someone from these conversations? If you wanted to address a general audience about this issue, how much background information would you need to supply? How would you assert that you are an expert or knowledgeable enough to join this conversation?

  3. Jeopardy!!!!

  4. Ba2 • Summary and paraphrase (This week) • Audience and purpose (Next week) This assignment is not due until 9/15!

  5. Summary • A summary is a brief statement or account of the main points of something • Should be an accurate representation of the main points • Should be concise and relevant to the purpose of the piece • Do not distract readers by including points not directly relevant to the purpose • Pixar • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuyB7NO0EYY • Men/women • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT6AiliG1iQ

  6. Paraphrase • A paraphrase restates in your own words the entirety of the original passage’s point • It should simplify complex idea by pulling them apart and explaining each smaller component of the larger idea • Use synonyms for key words in the original and replace unfamiliar or technical jargon with more familiar terms • Use different sentence structure from the original paragraph

  7. Outlines (A quick overview) • An Outline is a general description or plan giving the essential features of something but not the detail. • You should include information that is important to the overall purpose of the article, but do not include irreverent details • Each outline will differ depending on what the author thinks is the relevant information • Outlines include the large bullet points as the headings for each section • Large details are included underneath of the important, large ideas of the article • Smaller, but still important, details are included underneath of the larger details that they describe

  8. Homework • Bring this to class next week HANDWRITTEN! • Choose one of the three articles that you have read last week for homework (The New Sovereignty by Shelby Steele pg450, My Pedagogic Creed byJohn Dewey pg460, The American Scholar by Ralph Waldo Emerson pg468) • Create an outline for this article. This outline must be ½ a page to a page long minimum, but no longer than 2 pages. • This outline should include the large points/arguments of the article, as well as large details that are included. You can be as detailed or undetailed as you wish, but this assignment will help you conduct BA2 next week.
