PREPARATION FOR 1/31

Hello, Everyone:

There is no new reading for Thursday, but I will ask you to reread Wald's "Is Ethanol for the Long Haul?" (in BB "Genre Samples") and refresh your memory of our <in-class analysis> on 1/24, so that we can revisit each group's conclusions in preparation for our sci/tech blog workshop. Before the workshop, we'll also spend a little bit of time looking specifically at the genre of white paper, because I think it will make a good case on which to focus your questions about the assignment. Remember: You are well qualified and well positioned to write this sci/tech blog, so bring as much as you can to Thursday's class--i.e., ideas, drafted paragraphs, questions, your 2 additional research sources, a redesigned blog template, a narrative "arc" or theme, and any or all of the above!

See you soon,

-Prof. Graban
