Last 3 Classes: Computer Labs

Writings 2rs,

First off: I was blown away with how thoughtful, creative, and at times, poetic your PB3As were.  Hat's off to you.  :)  Your PB3B responses to others' posts were equally thoughtful, helpful, encouraging, and useful.  I'm very, very happy with what you're doing right now.

OK, so on Monday, 3/2, we're meeting in our regular classroom for our Peer/Reader Review Workshop on your WP3 draft -- and that includes your self-analysis of the "moves" you made, so be sure to have that ready.  

For the next three classes after that, though, we're meeting in three different computer labs.  Here's where you need to go:

• Week 9: 
• Wednesday, 3/4 ~~~> SSMS 1304
• Week 10:
• Monday, 3/9 ~~~~~>  Phelps 1513
• Wednesday, 3/11 ~~~~~>  Phelps 1525  

During those three classes, we're going to be doing a lot of different work: 1-on-1 meetings to discuss your WP3 and any questions that you have, activities that address lower-order concerns, and metacognitive reflection exercises for your portfolios.  Bring any/all material that you can.  We're going to be revisiting the awesome work that you've done all quarter long.

Artists' "Moves" and Framing Decisions

These videos can help us get at “rhetorical decisions” and “moves.”  They show artists describing their composing process—the artists lead us through their thoughts and their actions.  I want you to do the same thing in WP3 for your follow-up self-analysis, so while you watch these videos, I want you to consider:

• how do these artists describe what they’re doing?
• what things do the artists refer to while they describe their work?  what do they talk about?
• (in describing their moves, what have they brought into the conversation?  What else have they referenced?  Why?)
