Organize your Legos to be ready to hand in. (See white board.)
Nomenclature: context is key to communication. What does that mean?
What kinds of thinking did you do yesterday?
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? How did you handle the nomenclature problem? Was it hard to give feedback AS you were building?
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 instruct you to do these; I was hoping you would discover them by trial and error. Key elements: ______.
Thinkwrite II: Assess the directions you created. Which of the key elements did you come up with on your own? Explain.
When you are done, please hand in your Lego Project. Only leave the parts in the bag if you think I might need to build it.
To keep you thinking about the relationship between the key elements of a genre and effective writing (rhetoric in action), our next two writing projects involve another genre that none of us has written before.
Look at Kickstarter.com.
Some projects I've found....#1 and #2 and #3 and #4.
Homework:
1. Go to Kickstarter.com and look for projects that interest you. Use "Search" or "Discover" to see completed projects. You are looking for two that interest you; one that succeeded and one that failed.
2. In your daybook make a list of at least 5 projects that you looked at. Record enough information about them so that you could find them again.
3. TWFTD: crowdsourcing
