Today we did a rhetorical analysis (consideration of audience, purpose, & form) to think about how to create the letter for the Project 2 assignment. You decided who you were writing to & the purpose of your letter - and then used a writing handbook to see what you could find out about the form such letters are supposed to take. Thanks for your help in reviewing + evaluating the handbooks!
In the computer classroom we checked out sites to help you find your state and federal representatives, and looked at some more sites that gave sample formats for letters. You spend most of the class composing your letter. The final letter is due with your portfolio on the last day of class.
I will review your drafts for Project 2 over the weekend - and provide you with some written feedback by Tuesday. I am going to look at your plan for revising your essay (the work you turned in during class Tuesday - and see if you followed through.
For the 9:30 class on Tuesday, I will be available in CAS 340 for conferences - or to talk through how to write an inclass essay. We will talk about how to plan + organize an effective in-class exam.
During the second half of class - you will write your exam.
Have a good weekend and see you on Tuesday.
