 * ==Look! It's the GSW grading rubric! Check it out! [[file:rubric.pdf]]==
 * Here's the questionnaire I'd really like you to answer and send to me as a Google Document. In fact, to access this link you need a Google account because it is a Google Document. Make sure you copy and past the questions into your own Google Doc so that others can have access to the content! I look forward to learning more about you! Please send this to me before class on **Wednesday 1/11/12.** Thanks! Questionnaire


 * Here are the READING NOTES I created (based on the guidelines outlined in the achievement requirements) for a reading "A Third of Life" from our textbook //WARAC.// Please look these over for assistance in composing your own reading notes for the assigned readings.


 * This document contains the reading I passed out on the first day of class: A few chapters from the book //They Say / I Say. [[file:They Say I Say.pdf]]//


 * We will be using this document [[file:Rhetorical Analysis Worksheet.pdf]]throughout the semester to analyze the various articles we'll read. You might like to save a copy to your computer for future reference.


 * As a class, we'll be filling out the "Rhetorical Analysis worksheet" in small groups. Type your responses directly on this document so that we can all have access to the information--this will provide us with our first practice at critiquing an academic article--what you will be doing all semester long (see critique essay assignment, etc.)


 * If you click the hyperlinked text you'll be able to view a Google Doc which provides guidance constructing an argument according to the Toulmin model. We'll discuss this as a class but it may prove handy to keep close at hand.


 * This document is a map [[file:map1120.doc]] of our semester. You'll see I've noted the days major assignments are introduced and due. You'll also notice the colors signifying the overlapping nature of the assignments. Perhaps this document can be of use to you as you try to plan your schedule around due-dates in this course and in the other courses in which you are enrolled. Feel free to download this document and add to it in anyway you find useful--adding or deleting information, for example--this document is designed to be of help to you, for planning purposes.

In regards to summary, I'd like to offer the following resources I have found incredibly helpful (that is, along with the assigned readings from our texts WARAC and AWR). The first is from the book They Say/ I Say that we've already read some of on Summarizing. If you click the URL, you'll be taken to the relevant pages photocopied by some wonderful web user. It's a short and important read. "Art of Summary"

Also helpful is this document, which I handed out to you. It is adapted from the very chapter in They Say/I Say on summary. I think you'll find this handout to be super helpful.

Reading on The Art of Quoting. Super helpful.

Please read carefully. This is how your work can be accepted for revision. See the Achievement Requirements stating what essays you are allowed to revise!
