I was talking with some college freshmen, and they wanted to know what it was like to be a 7th grade student today. So, they came up with five questions, and I told them that you all would help them out. I will get you in to groups of three or four, then you will get a notecard with one question written on it. One person can be the designated "notetaker," writing on the back of the notecard all of the ideas that your group comes up with for this question.<br />
<br />
Just think: What's so cool about being about a 7th grade student now? Probably a lot!!<br />

Read through the rest of this blog post, highlighting the assessment and what is expected of you for this weekend. The two posts below this, regarding STV folders and the actual instrument used for assessment, will elaborate on this overview. If you have questions, please let me know. If not, we'll also have a chance to work through some of these things together.<br />

Assessment Goals:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif";"> </span><span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 11pt;">The Assessment instrument includes 8
items – which the students will be asked to respond to in a “report”
format.<span> </span>These items are closely related
to our program learning outcomes. They encourage students to reflect on their
composition practices, and to use their class productions to analyze and
demonstrate their learning. With this assessment we are trying to get a sense
of “what learning looks like” in a genre studies based writing course.<span> </span>We will be analyzing (rather than evaluating)
students’ answers to see how they use terms and concepts and how they use
examples from their own writing to illustrate their understanding of these
terms and concepts. <i>We will not be
assessing “writing mastery” in the student texts, nor will we be assessing
teacher efficacy.</i> Hopefully, our analysis will also uncover examples that
we can use to extend our understanding of how our learning outcomes are being
taken up and used by students..<span> </span>It may
also help us consider changes to our learning outcomes, and serve as a baseline
for future assessments.</span><span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif";"></span></div>

• In terms of design, how did the genre requirements impact how the text looked or was presented?

On Wednesday, you have your final learning blogs due and will take a few minutes to briefly present about your learning blogs, how far you've come in this class regarding writing, what you still have to learn, etc, If you have questions regarding this presentation, please see a subsequent blog post detailing these requirements.<br />

Hopefully this session was helpful to all. On Wednesday and Friday, we will hold our individual writing conferences with me, so remember to meet with me on your designated date/time. I will post/email you all those times soon.<br />

Happy Writing!<br />

Today in class, we had a quick (yet somewhat indepth) discussion on two areas in the construction of these: Content and Criteria/Research. Be sure to continue to think about these two aspects and utilize them wisely as you work to conceptualize your stories.<br />
<br />
In Wedneday's class, we'll be discussing three more aspects pertinent to your writing: The visual elements, the abstract, and the (often forgotten) title.

You can find a copy of this rubric contained in the next post on this blog. For Friday, you will want to post your proposal for the article. We'll discuss them in class that day.Nicole O.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12642217706415289139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906436554610271967.post-32077031353511499312012-04-02T07:49:00.002-07:002012-04-02T07:49:11.662-07:00Monday, April 2In class today, we began our discussion of the Grassroots Writing Research Journal and the rubrics which we will use to help us construct our own articles. <br />
<br />
For Wedneday, you'll want to read Koehler's article on page 21 and my grassroots article, making changes/updates to the rubric as you see fit. We'll briefly discuss the articles and finalize the rubric for class on Wedneday. I added some more points to the rubric from your group assignments, so you'll notice some changes<br />

Also, my article represents the almost final draft of it, but you'll see my comments to Kristi, the editor, along the side. These will help you as they tell what some of the visual elements will look like once it's actually in print. And if you're curious, the link at the top of the page represents the online article/comments which I refer to.Nicole O.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12642217706415289139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906436554610271967.post-4437886988407153472012-04-01T16:27:00.001-07:002012-04-04T04:47:12.994-07:00Proposal for GWRJ Article: Due Friday, April 6Here are the questions you need to have answered on your blog for this Friday. I'll give you feedback during Friday's class period. <br />
<br />
1. A general topic description<br />
2. Describe the specific genre(s) that your article will explore (if any)<br />
3. An explanation of the author's perspective (i.e. are you planning to creat a personal narrative of your own experience, or to research how other people writer, or what?)<br />
4. Potential use of visual elements<br />
5. Discuss your plans for citing research in your articles<br />
<br />
Questions 4 and 5 will be elaborated more in coming classes, so don't worry if you don't have a definite answer to these yet--just an "educated guess."Nicole O.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12642217706415289139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906436554610271967.post-78187271954924195532012-03-30T12:27:00.000-07:002012-03-30T12:27:26.656-07:00Assignment for Monday, April 2I hope that you're glad to have Unit 2 finished!

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Okay, so we’ve written newspaper articles. We’ve analyzed language, content, and location of various written genres. We’ve even designed and implemented <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">actual </i>research about how people react to small (?) changes in various genres.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, we will finish off the semester by writing about writing utilizing the format established in a relatively new and flexible genre. But what genre? <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Grassroots Writing Journal </i>that you’ve been reading all semester (sort of). <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">This journal, in its essence, represents writing about writing research, hence the title. As a class, we will delve into some published articles, coming up with rubric/criteria to base our own articles off of. However, here are just a few basics about this genre to start us off thinking: <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

They don’t expect solutions or promote “mastery” of a genre. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 39pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">These are not “personal narrative” success stories of how you become a great writer in a certain genre. The process (and struggles within this process) are much more important—and much more interesting to readers than articles simply saying, “Look how great I am!”<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 39pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Some consider a failure in working with a particular genre or even the more theoretical aspects of writing.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 39pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">They all avoid making generalized statements about writing.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">If you so choose, you can take the writing research from Unit 2 as a jumping off point for this article. However, you also have the chance to pick any other genre or writing experience that you’ve had. The choice is up to you, and you have a week to think about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">And while this article, at a minimum of 4-5 pages, represents a shortened version of the articles housed in the GRWJ (which run between 8 and 11), you can expand your writing and submit to the journal if you’d like. It’s up to you. And who knows—maybe some future freshmen will be reading your writing! Also keep in mind, this final unit represents a pretty accelerated one. Your first draft is due in a little more than two weeks and your final draft, in a little more than three. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

Today, we had some time to work in our groups to discuss finally beginning to implement our research designs and shared with the rest of the groups exactly what we are doing--hopefully gaining some ideas in the process.<br />
<br />
<b>Due Wednesday: The final draft of the research proposal (with the expanded section of the research design) is due by Wednesday morning.</b>Nicole O.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12642217706415289139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906436554610271967.post-63571630090782466642012-03-02T06:47:00.000-08:002012-03-02T06:47:01.893-08:00Friday, March 2We reexamined Cultural Historical Activity Theory today in class in relation to your genre juxtaposition pieces that we will be testing after spring break. Using colored paper, markers, and colored pencils, we created these "CHAT maps." In the Unit 2 groups, we then discussed what we each put on those maps.<br />
<br />
The rest of the class period involved figuring out how to construct your research design (which will be an expanded section within your research proposal).<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
On Monday, I will talk with each of your group regarding some feedback on your research proposals. You will then continue working on your research design, presenting the "rough draft" of this design in class on Monday (or the following Monday depending on time constraints).<br />
<br />
Over break, I will get you feedback on your learning blogs. After break, we will continue to construct the research design, will implement the research, and will then draw up the research findings.Nicole O.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12642217706415289139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906436554610271967.post-49120749020738762012012-03-01T18:59:00.001-08:002012-03-01T18:59:42.255-08:00CHAT, revisited for Unit 1: Friday, March 2We've already discussed Cultural Historical Activity Theory and how it places what people write or say within its context, allowing us to examine all of the factors surrounding its production. For about 20 minutes or so, you will do just that: Consider that genre juxtaposition piece in relation to CHAT. Feel free to grab some markers and colored pencils or simply or pen/pencil to create your map. This will then be shared with your Unit 2 to reveal how each of you believe your piece will go out in the world. This will help lead us into the reseach design portion of class...<br />

Unfortunately, no calendars leapt in our classroom today. But we did get to talk about your proposals and pieces for Unit 2.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Today, you all again worked in your groups to begin coming up with solid proposals and pieces to be tested. For Friday, you'll want to email me your research proposals, post your halfway learning blogs, and give me rough drafts of your genre juxtaposition pieces.Nicole O.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12642217706415289139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906436554610271967.post-35395584707668579232012-02-27T06:47:00.000-08:002012-02-27T06:47:29.210-08:00Monday, February 27We began our group work in class today regarding the assignments due on Friday:<br />
<br />
- half way learning blog (on each person's blog)<br />
- genre juxtaposition piece (rough draft; a hard copy or an electronic version; one/group)<br />
- research proposal (electronic version; one per group)<br />
<br />

<br />
This represented more of a brainstorming session for your groups as far as what you want to do and how you want to do it. I heard some really good things and some really cool brainstorming sessions. On Wednesday, you will have some more time in class to work, and I'll meet with each of your groups for about five minutes regarding your progress for this Unit 2 project.<br />
<br />
So... come Wednesday with more ideas and ready to work with your group!Nicole O.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12642217706415289139noreply@blogger.com0
