After talking with a few you I've realized most of you are still in the preliminary stages of your drafts and I've decided to push back the draft due date so you can send your peers something more "finished." Drafts are now due to Safe Assign and peers by Sunday 5pm.
However, I'm not going to push back the peer review due date. Peer Reviews (which should take you less time to complete) are due Tuesday 5pm. Remember to look over the Responding to Peers Assignment sheet and make sure you hit all of the criteria:
- A summary of your peer's essay,
- Marginal comments that identify where the writer is meeting specific criteria
- Blue highlight for well constructed sentences/passages
- Bellow highlight for sentences/passages that need work
- A letter to the writer where you tell them how they are successful but also how they could improve the piece to meet the project goals and criteria. This means you need to reference the assignment sheet to do this.
We won't meet on Monday due to the holiday, but you have a Reading Response due Wednesday over Flynn (ROW 156-168). For the Reading Response, please do the following:
- Getting Ready to Read: What have your experiences been with gender differences in the classroom? Did your teachers relate to or treat male and female students differently? How so?
- Summary: Focus mainly on "Composing as a Woman" but you'll want at least a line or two on how she updates/contextualizes that piece in the second selection.
- Synthesis: Think mainly about works we've read that deal with identity. Villanueva, Heilker & Yergeau, Gee, Wardle, etc.
- Questions for Discussion and Journaling: 1. Flynn says that "Women's perspectives have been supprressed, silenced, marginalized, written out of what counts as authoritative knowledge. Difference is erased in a desire to universalize" (157). What does this mean? How does the silencing of women's voices relate to the marginalization of other minorities?
Have a good weekend!
