Awareness test. How does selective attention work in the writing process? The policeman.
We check Ev.Wr. exercise 22.9.
I give you a directions sheet about MLA style, and we go to the lab.
Legos we love.
Homework:
1. Finish typing your directions and print so they are ready for a classmate to follow tomorrow.

Legos Day 1
"My play was a success. The audience was a failure." by Ashleigh Brilliant
In your daybook: What is the relationship between a set of directions and an audience?
You spend 10 minutes working on Ex. 22.9 in the Everyday Writer Exercise book.
I explain the Lego project, and you begin.
Homework:
1. Finish writing out your directions and be ready to type them up in the lab tomorrow. (If you have not already logged in once on campus, do so before tomorrow.)

Aristotle's Equation: What is Rhetoric?
We start here.
Audience + Purpose + Genre = Style (how it looks) and Content (what it says)
Now we look at directions. What have the writers assumed about their audiences?
In your daybook, describe the two examples you brought to class. Describe the directions and their puropose. How effective do you think they are? Explain why.
In groups you will look at the style and the content of the examples you brought to class. Create a list you can share with the class of the characteristics of effective vs. ineffective directions.
Homework:
1. Fill at least one page (one side) in your daybook describing a situation where you were frustrated by ineffective directions. As you describe what happened, try to analyze what the specific problems were with those directions based on today's discussions.
