| After reading Kantz, this shouldn't be you! |
Today in class, we're going to be discussing and working through the Kantz article. Before we get started, get into groups of 3-4 and come up with definitions of the following terms and write them on the board:
Argument
Claim
Opinion
Fact
We'll be discussing which groups' definitions are best, now that we've read Kantz.
Then, complete the following questions in your groups. These are due at the end of the period.
a. Thinking back to Flower,
what does it mean to read rhetorically? How does this relate to writing a
research paper?
b. Read Shirley’s paper and
the analysis of it on page 75. Why does Kantz suggest that she got a C-? What’s
wrong with her paper? Is it similar to your paper? What might you do to avoid
falling into the same trap as Shirley?
c. When reading sources for
a research paper, what is your job? What are you trying to do? Has your
research process changed at all over the course of this class? What might you
do differently in order to be more successful as a rhetorical writer?
d. What role does Kantz say
audience plays in Shirley’s sources? Why is it so significant? Thinking about
your own research so far, do you think audience plays a significant role?
Discuss your experiences.
e. Describe the triangle
Kantz discusses. What are “gaps,” and how might observing these help you in
your research? Thinking about your research, have you found any gaps? If so,
discuss them. If not, why do you think you haven’t found any?
Studio Work
Today, we will be meeting in ASB 2.102 instead of the writing studio.
Your task: Post an MLA style citation AND an annotation here in the comments section of the blog. Your source MUST be scholarly (peer-reviewed, from a professional journal). Use either the library databases or google scholar to find your source if you hadn't already found one.
Need help with your citation? Try easybib or Son of Citation Machine
Your annotation should include 1. a brief, 1-2 sentence summary of the source's claims and 2. a 1-2 sentence explanation as to HOW it relates to your research question, or how you plan to use it for your research.
This will help us to share sources!
If you finish this early, work on your Stage III assignment. I have a sample posted for you to see here
