What to do for Wednesday: Read "Playing Well With Other..." in the Grassroots Writing Journal (pg. 35. and think about your personal experiences working with peers (i.e. peer work/review/assessment/whatever). What worked? What didn't What would you like to change? These thoughts will help form our basis for our peer work this coming Friday.
Today's class began with some time to write about your current thoughts on your project (what you've learned so far, where you stand, what questions you still have, etc.). These notes will help you when you write your "halfway there" blog due next Monday.
We then went over some of the key components on how to spot and what makes a "news" article a "news article" and how to begin to analyze your chosen sources The powerpoint slides were emailed out to you all for your reference as you begin this.
Keep in mind that your chosen sources need to fall into the news category; steer away from anything that looks like an opinion piece or has some weird characteristic that would place it in the "not news" category.
