Friday, February 17

Today, we turned in all of our stuff for unit 1! I hope that it was a good feeling to get rid of all of it. I plan to have everything graded by next Friday. So, you'll have your midterm grades by then, as well.

I also introduced unit 2. We began with some links to two news stories and how changing one particular genre construct (such as the location of them for example: What if you switched Brian Williams' story with that of Jon Stewart's?) can make huge differences as far as the reactions garnered from readers/viewers/etc. The unit is explained in more detail in the previous post.

Due for Monday: Comment on one other person's blog and bring in example of a written genre. We'll work with this example in class that day.

Have a great weekend! : )
