LE3 Reader Review

If you miss RR in class, you absolutely must make it up with two people outside of class. They must write down responses to these questions, which you must include in your packet.

Reviewers Name:

Answer their three questions here:


How well have they created the five genres? Do they fit the conventions, or when they don't, is there a reason?



How well does the tie-in work with the five genres? How well does it work with the audience?



How effective is the essay as persuasion? Does it work to persuade the intended audience? Could you clearly tell what the thesis and audience were?

LE3 Checklist

The following is a checklist enumerating what exactly you must turn in to me. You are responsible for this information. Any lack on your part will lead to the loss of credit. You must have every component in your packet. You will turn all of these components into me in a 2-pocket paper folder, with nothing else in it (such as, nothing from LE1 or LE2). The only exception, obviously, is if you cannot put your Long Essay itself in the folder. Make sure everything is typed (if writing), and that you clearly indicate what each item is. Refer to handout about formatting. Also, make sure everything is in the order listed here. Any deviation from this will lead to the loss of credit.



o Your newly revised Long Essay. This will be complete and compiled in the way you chose.

o Your complete and updated Chronicles of Evidence for your LE3.

o The copy of your paper that was used for Reader Review, including your cover letter, and any comments from your reviewer.

o Rough Draft of Genre 1 with my comments

o Rough Draft of Genre 2 with my comments

o Rough Draft of Genre 3 with my comments

o Rough Draft of Genre 4 with my comments

o Rough Draft of Genre 5 with my comments


If you end up using a rough draft in the final (and thus cannot include it at the end), you must put a note where the rough draft belongs. Otherwise, you will be docked for it.

Remember, everything must be in your packet or else you will lose credit. If you did not get something in on time you must still complete it for your Long Essay Submission Packet. Otherwise, the submission packet is not complete and will be docked points.

Logical Fallacies

Determine which fallacy each of these claims is guilty of.


1. You have to support our Governor because the majority of people elected him.

2. If we don't fix health care right now, everyone will die.

3. Proactive must work because that delightful Katy Perry endorses it.

4. How can you talk about campaign finance reform when we're at war?!

5. Don't listen to Rush Limbaugh: he's a drug addict!

6. My uncle lost his job three months after Pat Quinn became Governor, so Quinn can't be doing a good job.

7. Our baseball team can't give up just because we're 10 games behind with 2 games to go: our Founding Fathers fought back and won the war against nearly impossible odds. We can still win this year!

8. Because that Senator died, we should pass the legislation he would have wanted.

LE2 Checklist

The following is a checklist enumerating what exactly you must turn in to me for LE2. You are responsible for this information. Any lack on your part will lead to the loss of credit.

You must have every component in your packet.

You will turn all of these components into me in a 2-pocket paper folder, with nothing else in it (such as, nothing from LE1).

Make sure everything is typed, and that the title clearly indicates what each item is.

Refer to handout about formatting, and have everything stapled separately. Also, make sure everything is in the order listed here. Any deviation from this will lead to the loss of credit.





o Your newly revised Long Essay typed and stapled. This must include every component of the Long Essay. This will also include a works cited page (not the annotated bibliography: just the works cited in standard format). This will be 4-5 full pages, not including the Works Cited page. Remember: you must have two library sources and two interviews cited in your paper. (Note: this is not 4 CRJs stapled together: it is an essay bringing that information together).


o The copy of your paper that was used for Reader Review, including your cover letter, and the comment sheets from your reviewers.


o 4 CRJ's

o Annotated Bibliography with 2 entries




Remember, everything must be in your packet or else you will lose credit.

If you did not get something in on time (such as a CRJ) you must still complete it for your Long Essay Submission Packet. Otherwise, the submission packet is not complete and will be docked points.

Research Questions

Finding the Questions
(Adapted from The Curious Researcher by Bruce Ballenger)



• At the top of a word document, write the community and topic you are investigating.

• In a paragraph, describe why you chose that topic.

• In a paragraph or so, list what you know about your topic already, such as interesting or surprising facts or statistics, key people or institutions, problems faced by society, problems faced by the community, common misconceptions, observations you’ve made, major controversies, etc….

• Brainstorm a list of questions you’d like to answer through your research. Make this list as long as you can. Try to see your community and topic in as many ways as possible.

***********************************************

• Once you’ve completed this, and when I say so, move around the room looking at other classmates’ lists. For each list, ask one question you would like answered about that topic that is not on the list, and put an X by the question on the list that you think would be the most interesting to have answered. Put your initials after the question you contribute.

Annotated Bibliography

Annotated Bibliography

To annotate something means to write notes on or about it. A bibliography is a collection of the sources you will be using in a paper.

An annotated bibliography, then, is a list of your sources with notes on how they fit into your research.

An annotated bibliography is a way for you to bring all your research together and map out how it relates. By creating the annotated bibliography, you will be able to return to your research later without being completely lost as to the significance the sources once held for you.

The annotated bibliography is formatted almost exactly like a works cited page, with one addition. Under each source citation, you will give a short summary and analysis of the entry so that you can return to it with ease. This will also allow you to see how your research relates.

For this Long Essay, you will need to have at least 2 credible library sources (books or articles). You will most likely read through more sources while researching, but you must end up using at least two for your paper. You can use more if you like, and that might be a good idea, since you will need to find more research when doing LE3. But, at the very least, you must find two sources for LE2.

Process:

For each source on the annotated bibliography, you will first cite the source as you would on the work cited page according to MLA citation style.

Then, underneath the source, you will do a couple things. First, briefly summarize the source (what is it about, what is the purpose, what is the main argument of the source? Be specific!). This should be about 3-4 sentences. Then, in about 2-4 sentences, analyze the source (how is it appropriate for your research? Why? Is the source reliable? How do you know? What did you learn from this source?).

You will do one of these entries for each source you use for you paper, but you will still use a traditional works cited page for the actual essay you turn into me.

Keep in mind that this is for you, not me. Spend time on these entries because it will help you later on when compiling your essay. The following is a sample of what an entry might look like. It is a sample from my own research; even though I am further along the path of research, more experienced researchers still use this technique to organize and make sense of their research.



Bettelheim, Bruno. The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and
Importance of Fairy Tales. New York: Vintage Books, 1989. Print.

This work is a highly contested work of interpretation of fairy tales for children, and thus needs to be used cautiously. Will not be focusing on psychoanalytic approach in this work, but Bettelheim does provide a great point in his introduction. He acknowledges that many adults complain about the lack of moral guidance in tales such as Jacobs’s version of “Jack and the Beanstalk.” His response is that tales such as these (and “Puss in Boots” and other such trickster tales of a small character overcoming an ogre) do not serve the purpose of traditional moral education (there are plenty of tales for that). Rather, these trickster tales provide psychic hope for a child who in general feels small and powerless and allows the child to feel it is possible to overcome oppressive forces in life. This ties into the progressive ideological bent of Jacobs’s version, which not only has faith in children being able to not accept theft in general as good (as Jacobs’s says elsewhere), but also promotes ideas that the weak can overcome the strong.

Community Proposal

Community Proposal

Research consumes a great deal of time and energy. The research that you’ll do this semester needs to capture and keep your attention. In order to help all of this happen, we’ll work through a particular process to get to research issues in this class. It all begins with choosing a community you’d like to study.



Step One: Create a short definition of what you think makes a group of people a community.

It only needs to be a few sentences. This definition shouldn’t come from a dictionary and should be in your own words. This is your view of what needs to be present before a group of people can be considered connected enough to consist of a community. This definition should be the first paragraph at the top of your proposal.



Step Two: Choose three possible communities that you would be interested in researching.

Write a short proposal in which you describe three possible communities that you might like to research for this class. For each community, write a bit about it (describe it, the location, the people, the connection - what keeps them connected, whatever you know about it) and why you think you might like to check it out. This step should be three solid paragraphs - one for each community.

Remember: the only stipulation is that you do not belong to the community.



Step Three: Choose a topic for each community.

In addition to your description of all three communities, include a proposal for the topic you might like to research in that community. The topic needs to have social implications - an influence on society - such as: euthanasia, juvenile crime and rehabilitation, divorce, single parenting, drug addiction, death sentence, poverty, welfare, genetic engineering, racially mixed adoptions, homosexual adoptions, etc.... Choose a topic that is pertinent to each community, and one that is controversial enough that there will be plenty of research available to you when you go to look for your outside sources. Write a brief paragraph identifying the topic, explaining how the topic is appropriate to the community, and describing why you are interested in researching this topic. Each topic proposal should be a paragraph, and should follow the community proposal paragraph for which it is intended.
All in all, this entire proposal should be 7 paragraphs long: Community definition, three community proposals, three topic proposals. The proposal, as with everything, should conform to the formatting sheet.


Seven paragraphs of proposal:

I. Definition of Community
II. Community 1
III. Topic for Community 1
IV. Community 2
V. Topic for Community 2
VI. Community 3
VII. Topic for Community 3

Reader Review Cover Letter (For All Essays)

Reader Review Cover Letter

For every Reader Review, in order to contextualize for your reader, you will include a cover letter. This will give them an idea of what you are presenting to them, so that they are better able to respond to your essay. Have the following headings and fill them in for your cover letter. Attach to the front of your LE on Reader Review day. This is part of your grade.


Purpose: Here you should describe the point of your paper. Briefly, what exactly are you trying to do? What was the point of the assignment, and specifically how you went about it (do not just rehash my words from the assignment sheet: what do you understand the purpose to be)?

Audience: Who is the audience of this essay, and how did this shape your process?

Process: Explain what process you went through in writing this paper, including how you found your research, how you used the Writing Explorations, and how you put everything together.

Desired Feedback: Describe the type of feedback you want from your Reader Reviewer. Do you want them to be brutally honest, or do you prefer constructive criticism? Also, come up with three questions (that do not have a yes or no answer) that will help you get feedback that you can use. What exactly are you concerned about?

Critical Reading Samples

Reading 1:

“We have customers who say, ‘Well, I don’t want it (a new $2,000 TV) if it can’t be hooked up by Sunday …’ ” — Best Buy sales guy

There are three great mysteries in America today: 1) how we got into such a big credit hole; 2) when about 96.3% of us began eating too much, spawning an obesity problem; c) how the Super Bowl got so gosh-darned big, too.

Yes, the big day is here.

Again.

If there’s a thread that binds today, it is that at VI o’clock, about III/IVs of us will be tuning in to ogle all the elements of Super Bowl XLIII and the rest of mankind will blissfully adjust.

Remember back in school when we learned Roman numerals?

Who would have ever known we’d only need to know them to count specific football games?

And why with Roman numerals?

For continuity, wouldn’t it be fun to also keep the score in Xs, Vs, and Ls?

When Janet Jackson’s top fell down a few Supers ago, instead of creating a national tempest, shouldn’t it have simply been hailed as Super Bowl XXX?

Can you imagine the confusion in only a few more years when it will be the 49th Super Bowl and referred to either as Super Bowl XXXXIX or Super Bowl XXXXVIIII or Super Bowl XLIX?

Yes, here we are, celebrating again.

The Super Bowl itself is like the Academy Awards, of course.

It is always a little too long, a little too overdone and the entertainment segments – in football’s case, the halftime show — always seems to be lacking.

In the Super Bowl’s case, if you ask me, they should also quit playing the game in some namby-pamby warm-weather site.

This is football, not water ballet or “American Idol.”

These are rough, tough, behemoth men, crashing into each other, like a NASCAR wreck every 50 seconds.

It’s also a sport played in the middle of winter.

I want to see clouds of steam coming off the players’ backs and heads.

I want to see icicles dangling from the coach’s headset.

It’s also just not as much fun watching some 20something male with no shirt, his chest painted in Steeler yellow and black, in the 75-degree comfort of Tampa or Tempe.

Yet Super Sunday itself?

I think it is wonderful.

-"How did a single football game ever become so XL?" by Bill Flick

















Reading 2:

Defenders of holistic scoring might reply (as one anonymous reviewer did), that holistic scores are not perfect or absolutely objective readings but just “judgments that most readers will agree are the appropriate ones given the purpose of the assessment and the system of communication.” But I have been in and even conducted enough holistic scoring sessions to know that even that degree of agreement doesn’t occur unless “purpose” and “appropriateness” are defined to mean acceptance of the single set of standards imposed on that session. We know too much about the differences among readers and the highly variable nature of the reading process. Supposing we get readings only from academics, or only from people in English, or only from respected critics, or only from respected writing programs, or only from feminists, or only from sound readers of my tribe (white, male, middle-class, full professors between the ages of fifty and sixty). We still don’t get agreement. We can sometimes get agreement among readers from some subset, a particular community that has developed a strong set of common values, perhaps one English department or one writing program. But what is the value of such a rare agreement? It tells us nothing about how readers from other English departments or writing programs will judge—much less how readers from other domains will judge.

(From the opposite ideological direction, some skeptics might object to my skeptical train of thought: “So what is new?” they might reply. “Of course my grades are biased, ‘interested’ or ‘situated’—always partial to my interests or the values of my community or culture. There’s no other possibility.” But how can people consent to give grades if they feel that way? A single teacher’s grade for a student is liable to have substantial consequences—for example on eligibility for a scholarship or a job or entrance into professional school. In grading, surely we must not take anything less than genuine fairness as our goal.)
