What about context? Lego nomenclature reading questions stumped SOME of you. British English: "The team are playing well this season." "Congress are not voting on anything." "The Lego are all over the floor."
Context is key? How about assumptions? We watch Derek Sievers on assumptions.
Thinkwrite I: How did the Lego project go for you? Did you make any assumptions you were not aware of? Did you struggle with directions or builders? If so, what were the problems?
I show you the set of directions that taught me the key elements in this genre of writing (assembly directions with no pictures). I did not require these; I was hoping you would discover them by trial and error. Key elements: ______.
Thinkwrite II: Assess your own directions. Which of the key elements did you come up with on your own? Explain.
Now, about context....a quiz.
When you finish with that, please begin following the directions on your blue handout to write assessments for your two chosen Kickstarter projects. These are examples you are using to figure out what the necessary elements are for this genre of writing.
Homework:
1. Complete your assessments, due Wednesday. Tomorrow class time will be spent on other things.
2. TWFTD: to forage, foraging (you choose)
