Next week will largely focus on finding good sources for your Project 1 research. One of the key components for the project is finding useful scholarly sources via Milner Library. Here's a series of videos that use the example of Trayvon Martin and Twitter to provide tips for finding useful sources. Note that the videos also reveals some of the frustrations of research - not every search will bring up what you're looking for. These videos are not required for the course, but hopefully the can be helpful as you start thinking about Project 1.
Writing represents a complex interplay between author, audience, and artifact. As a teacher, my goals are to help students identify their personal writing goals, illustrate the importance of social and cultural considerations that affect genres, and then guide them in preparing works that will resonate with readers. The lesson plans shared here represent several years of my teaching.
