- Read the Haas & Flowers article and provide a response
- Be ready to individually present a section of the article in class (PREPARE WISELY) I would suggest you write down notes for the article and mark down important page numbers. Refer to something specifically that you want to address in class.
Interview assignment:
What do other people think about "good writing"? For this one, you should do a little research. You could survey or interview your classmates or kids in a local high school or a small sample of people working in various professions (or whoever you’re interested in asking––people on Facebook––whoever). Or you could even do some research into how your construct is represented in various media outlets which shape public perceptions about what counts as “good writing,” or how the TAKS test or new STAAR exams shape our ideas about “good writing.” The possibilities are almost endless based on your particular interests, so talk with me about how you’d like to learn more.
- Provide 1 page interview based on the above question. You can interview a family member, a friend, anyone. Dagoberto, I'd recomend that you interview an engineer and see how they use writing in their field.
