March 21

Today, we responded to a quote by Kenneth Burke for writing into the day.  (This quote can be found at the beginning of the Joining the Conversation assignment description.)  Then, we talked about the Joining the Conversation assignment.  The due dates are as follows:

• April 9 - Rogerian Dialogue first draft due on Blackboard and the blog
• April 16 - Toulmin Dialogue first draft due on Blackboard and the blog
• April 25 - Argumentative first draft due on the blog; workshop in class
• April 30 - Argumentative second draft draft due on Blackboard and the blog

We reviewed the organization and expectation of the Annotated Bibliography and analyzed the example Annotated Bibliography that was sent in an email earlier today.  Finally, we spent the last 25 minutes of class working on our Annotated Bibliographies.

Homework:

• Read "The Truth about Plagiarism" in Practical Argument on pages 302-304.
• Post a reading response.
• Work on the Annotated Bibliography.  Workshop for the first draft is March 28.
