library research, bibliographies, and audience-finding

Find, evaluate, analyze, and synthesize appropriate primary and secondary sources. One way to play this game as a group is for each player to find a source germane to a particular and important claim in your argument and share it with each group member. Then create a sequence for each source that guarantees evaluation, analysis, and integration of your findings into your project.

Practice: finding different tones for different audiences

After you play this game, find a page to edit on Appropedia, wikia or another wiki dedicated to (or that might benefit from exploring) issues and themes comprising your final project. How must you revise your prose to make it harmonize with the wiki space you found?

Reflect: genres

When we write a song or a poem, we engage composing processes and rhetorical conventions than sustained prose argumentation, and offers readers/listeners different invitations than what we can offer in narratives and definition/evaluation/causal argumentation (and vice versa). Which of these or other genres will help you best communicate the main ideas of your final project to your audience?
