Langauge Use and Spell Check

First of all, everyone must post in the forum in Moodle  where you turn in your "Language Use in Kickstarter" paper. Follow the directions in the forum.

Then share on the board....

Now more in Everyday Writer. Section 23 was about word choice and spelling. Go to p. 269.

How good is your spellchecker? Let's see.

1. Do Ev. Writer Ex. 23.8, page 270 at the bottom, and on the next page a bit.  You will type and make the corrections as you type. Then print. This typed page goes in your daybook.

2. Do Exercise 23.9 page 272, writing the correct word down in your daybook (number from 1 to 13).

3.  Look through the Glossary of Usage pages 274-283.  Copy down two different pairs of words that give you trouble, and make up example sentences that use them correctly.

Homework:

1. Draft #1 of Kickstarter on Paper is due tomorrow. Have one copy printed for class.

2. TWFTD: novice (in Everyday Writer Ex. 23.9)

Persuasion

We are back to rhetoric and Aristotle. Remember I said there were a lot of rhetorical terms? See here: http://rhetoric.byu.edu/

But in order to discuss persuasion, Aristotle narrowed things down to three main categories, or pillars, of persuasion: pathos, ethos and logos. Since every Kickstarter is a piece of persuasion, you need to be thinking about this.

Did you run into any examples of this as you were looking at your Kickstarters? Daybook Group Activity.

Thinkwrite: Take some time to apply logos/ethos/pathos to one of the Kickstarters you described in your Solo #1 paper. How did that campaign use each of those? What were its strengths and weaknesses in terms of pathos/ethos/logos?

As you plan for your Kickstarter on Paper, Draft #1 due Tuesday, be thinking of the ways you will appeal to your readers. You need to decide on your idea, and then the details of your campaign. Also you'll decide the layout of your campaign on paper. This is another assignment that does NOT look like an essay.

Do you need to print the "Language Use in Kickstarter" worksheet?

Homework:

1. Complete the page of notes assigned yesterday. Then begin the rough draft of your Kickstarter on Paper, due Tuesday. Please do have it typed.

2. Complete the "Language Use in Kickstarter" assignment, due Monday. You will find it  in Moodle; either print and write out your answers, or do it on your computer as an e-file.

3. [ASEP students -- get your Kickstarter mostly done this weekend so you can work ahead with me on the NEXT project.]

Solo Paper #1 Due

Return of Lego paper. Keep the final version which is stapled to the grading rubric (on the top of your stack). The final version with grading rubric must be saved for your portfolio and the final page count.

You need one copy of your Solo Paper #1 AND the grading rubric/ assignment sheet to hand in.

THINKWRITE: Please look back at your lists of the steps in the writing process, from the first and second day of class. Think about the process you went through to write THIS paper. Which of those steps on the list did you actually do? Describe the process you went through. What was helpful, and what you would like to do differently for the next assignment?

We shift gears to the Kickstarter on Paper.  I hand out the purple assignment sheet.

You get into groups and come up with a list of the Key Elements that you think the Kickstarters On Paper should have. Note these down in your daybook.

We combine your input into a CLASS LIST OF KEY ELEMENTS. Everyone will copy this onto their purple sheet.

[Next daybook check is August 7.]

Homework:

1. Write a page of brainstorming notes in your daybook of ideas for your Kickstarter on Paper. The rough draft, due Tuesday, should be typed. It should have something in EACH of the Key Elements, but it need not be complete.
