For today and tomorrow I'm wanting you to think about Short Project #2; you must be also thinking about your Long Observation, which has the first draft due on Friday. There's no more to say about it in class, until you bring the draft on Friday.
I. Grammar: Read this page. Do this page's exercises. Number 1-7 in your daybook and record how many tries it takes to get each one correct.
II. Now, read Bedford pages 609-612, "Lazy Eyes" by Michael Agger. See it online here. Have both the book and computer versions to read -- decide which is easier for you. Also, you will answer the questions below in your daybook:
1. Which one of the blue links in the article would you click on if you were reading this online? (You must list at least one and tell why.)
2. What is btw (in paragraph 5)?
3. To go with the heading "It's a Jungle Out There" Agger explains Nielsen's hunting metaphor.
- What are readers ("humans") called?
- What are we looking for in an online article?
- What is information equivalent to?
4. List at least 3 ways Agger shows (illustrates/demonstrates) what he's writing about.
5. Finish the sentence below in a way that sums up the point of this article. Copy it ALL down:
- In his article "Lazy Eyes," Michael Agger ....
Homework:
1. Tomorrow I'll give you the assignment sheet for the Short Project #2. But for you to think about, here's the general assignment. You will write two different letters. They will be the same genre, but addressed to different people. My suggestions of genres are advice, fan, and complaint. You can propose your own, as well. Tomorrow we'll look at examples.
2. Finish any of the the above work.
3. TWFTD: ludic
