We've now had two (hopefully successful) peer review sessions. We've read other people's theories on the process. You know what comes next? Why, reflecting on our own experiences, of course!
Here's your assignment:
Write a short response to both articles where you discuss their views in discourse with your own views on the peer review process, reflecting on your experiences so far. Use both articles as sources in your response and cite them in-text (can be quotes or paraphrases). You will need a works cited page, of course. Your response needs to be typed and double-spaced.
Due Friday, October 4th.
Here are a few announcements:
As we begin stage III, you'll need to start thinking of a research question! And once you have that down pat, the next step is going to be to do some "real" research on the topic. I've scheduled some library time for us to do just that. Our library sessions will meet in Classroom #2 on the first floor. Here are our dates:
For my 7:45 class -- FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4TH.
For my 9:45 and 11:45 -- WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2ND
Bring your research question to the meeting and get ready to get your hands dirty with some research.
My research question will be if first year college students are capable of rhetorical reading...
ReplyDeleteI will send a piece of reading to my friends in Our Lady of the Lake , St. Mary's , STC , and UTPA ...
trying to get different colleges makes it a bit interesting.
I can't seem to find a passion though ? any suggestions ?
Hi Melissa! What an interesting idea. So it looks like you're investigating if students have different rhetorical reading skills based on the college they attend. Looks like you have three categories of colleges: private 4 year, public 4 year, and 2 year college. Maybe the TYPE of college these students attend will have an influence on how they read rhetorically? I love it. You don't need to necessarily have a "passion" in your question; the main point is to investigate something that YOU'RE curious about. So maybe the "passion" here is that you're curious about your friends' experiences, and how they're similar/different from your own? Does that make sense? I'm looking forward to your project.
