Rhetoric & Composition: Class #9: In-Class and Assignments
IN CLASS: Peer edit Outline: Choose someone in your family and trade papers. Read through the paper once without writing anything or stopping. Then, start again from the beginning and follow these steps:
1. Throughout the paper, place a Costal-esque smiley face beside any and all VIVID or strong details. These should be sensory type depicts of the photograph.
2. Box the THESIS. Is the writer's impression established within this sentence? (Note to writer: if your editor chose a sentence other than your proposed thesis, you did not do a good enough job establishing your impression).
3. Underline any sentences that establish CONTEXT of the photograph.
4. Place a check mark before any sentence or phrases that provide solid SUPPORT.
5. On the back of the essay or on a separate sheet of paper write a few lines of perspective for the writer. Write one thing you really liked about the critique and one thing you really did not like.
ASSIGNMENTS:
WRITE: 1. Essay #4 Revision
2. Journal #5 & #6: Read the New Yorker Review of "Jersey Shore." Link is posted below. For J5, describe what you like or do not like about the critique. Comment on what the writer does well.
