Assignment:
Unit I Reading (For Mon 9/12):
3) Part 1, Two, City of Rhetoric, 19-36)
4) Go ahead and register for hypothes.is. Add the bookmark to your browser. You’ll need to drag it to your menu/bookmark bar. If you’re using safari, you’ll need to go to view > show menubar (or bookmarks). Maybe the same for firefox. I recommend Chrome because it’s easiest with hypothes.is. Once you’ve registered, click the links in the google doc. As you read these essays, make at least one annotation and tag it with either wrtg100f16 or wrtg106f16. You may add other tags, if you wish.
You might want to use this “quick start” guide: https://hypothes.is/quick-start-guide-for-students/
You might also benefit from this: https://hypothes.is/annotation-tips-for-students/
As you annotate, think about what would be helpful or interesting for the rest of us. Link to a definition or to another example or ask a question (and if you can answer someone else’s, do so) or put in a .gif that explains something . . . in essence, be helpful, be additive, be strategic. If you don’t understand something in the text, ask a question about it. Keep in mind our own writing projects as you read this. Annotate sentences and ideas that might be helpful. Heck, go ahead and annotate spots where you see a semi-colon or comma fanboys.
You will all lead the discussion next class. So come with questions and things you want to discuss.
5) Commonplace book (due for next Thursday): two examples of periods (IC. IC.) and two examples of IC; IC. Post them to your commonplace book (a word doc for now) and discuss what the effect would be if you replaced one with other. There is no correct answer. I just want you to think about it and play around with it.

Class 5. M 9/12
In Class:
Discussion: Tie the readings to our own work
*Primary and Secondary Research (BEAM)

*Working collaboratively (peer review)
Assignment For Thursday:
[Helpful hints: 1) chunk up the reading. Read like 5 pages a day in each text. 2) Keep thinking about why we are reading this about this topic in a writing class. 3) Keep thinking about how these essays help us better understand our projects. 4) Try to go visit your chosen site. Go with a friend. I’d avoid going alone, personally. 4) Read over our Doc we created today with notes on our readings. I think it will be helpful. If you have anything to add to them, by all means, please do so. 5) Email or Slack me with any questions.]
