Didn't Read LOL?

    

Didn't do your reading assignment? You know who you are! ::shameful pointing::

If you'd like to replace your quiz grade, you can write a responses to the questions below. Your responses must be a minimum of one page, typed, double-spaced. This will be due on WEDNESDAY in class.

1.Thinking back to Flower, what does it mean to read rhetorically? How does this relate to writing a research paper? 

2.    Read Shirley’s paper and the analysis of it on page 75. Why does Kantz suggest that she got a C-? What’s wrong with her paper? Is it similar to your paper? What might you do to avoid falling into the same trap as Shirley?

3.     When reading sources for a research paper, what is your job? What are you trying to do? Has your research process changed at all over the course of this class? What might you do differently in order to be more successful as a rhetorical writer?

4.    What role does Kantz say audience plays in Shirley’s sources? Why is it so significant? Thinking about your own research so far, do you think audience plays a significant role? Discuss your experiences. 

5.     Describe the triangle Kantz discusses. What are “gaps,” and how might observing these help you in your research? Thinking about your research, have you found any gaps? If so, discuss them. If not, why do you think you haven’t found any?

And while you're at it, here are some gifs just for you!
