Week 4 - September 16

* Use the first part of class to finish up your Rhetorical Analysis paper.  The final copy will be uploaded to D2L by midnight.
* A thought on making more of an analysis and less of a summary - actually indicate that rhetorical strategies were used to get across the points.  Acknowledge that you will be looking at the different components of the article and how they are effective, etc.  The same idea goes for the conclusion.  Don't re summarize the article; instead, articulate how the rhetorical and contextual aspects lead to a specific paper tailored to a specific audience, etc.
*Inserting a hanging indent for works cited pages: 

This is how you indent in a work cited page.  It can be quite frustrating because it will not let you change formatting and indent easily.  Highlight the selected text, right click, under paragraph look in the indentation section.  Click on special and select hanging.  


* Thoughts on "Saying is Believing"
Write: Which of the points do you struggle with in your own writing?

Can Writing Create Change?

Write: What have you read that has changed your world - this can be a big or small change.  It can be a big or little read.

Write:  Create a list of grievances you have towards GVSU.  This can be a big or little scope, of high importance or something petty.

* New schedule update

Looking Forward:
Monday, September 16 - upload final draft of the Rhetorical Analysis paper to D2L
Wednesday, September 18
Meet in Lab 2 in the Mary Idema Pew Library (located in the lower level atrium)
Read: EW Skim Documentation section beginning on page 206 (no need to skim Chicago, only MLA and APA)
