PREPARATION FOR 4/4 (WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE PLAN)

Hello, Everyone:

As you are working in your Google Doc spaces with your writing teams, please do keep in mind that -- in some cases -- the best sources you could be drawing from are the sources you have already read or somehow mastered for the class. In other words, rather than feeling as if you have to find sources with "multimodality" in the title, look more creatively at those sources that already reflect what you think to be true about multimodality.

I'll look for fleshed-out sections in your workspaces by class time, and then we'll spend the class writing, workshopping, and negotiating pretty extensively. If you're not sure of what to expect -- i.e., not having a firm product expectation is making it difficult for you to write -- I'd say, expect to present something complete to the class that makes sense according to how you understand your section of the article, and then expect to have it challenged, rethought, reorganized, and even renegotiated.

Please bring to class -- or otherwise have access to in class -- the sources you want to use. We have a lot to get accomplished in our 75 minutes. Please also bring your assignment sheet (just for reference).

Have fun with it,
-Prof. Graban
