Hello, Everyone:
Do well and prosper as you draft your sci/tech blog posts this weekend! Getting your questions articulated and answered is an important part of the process of writing this assignment, so I appreciate how many of you offered up your questions to the class before, during, and after today's workshop. Your classmates appreciate you, too.
As a reminder, we'll conduct a workshop on "Rhetorical Moves and Rich Features" during Tuesday's class, focusing on language and style, and working mainly out of Style and When Words Collide. Posted pages (or sections) in Style and WWC can be found <here>. Please be sure you bring the books to class.
Looking forward to it,
-Prof. Graban

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
