Post assignments 10/5-10/7


Your posts should relate to the distributed texts for Presentations 1 & 2. Engage in close analysis, using whatever tools seem to be appropriate, and following the presenters' in-class comments.

Lanham, chapters 6 & 7 are also assigned for this week. Along with chapter 5, these chapters will be important sources of close reading ideas for your midterm and final projects. Therefore, you should be sure you understand them and use your post to ask any questions about voice (chapter 5), repeating patterns intended to persuade (chapter 6), and a sentence-by-sentence analysis of two texts (chapter 7). We've touched on all these topics, but these Lanham chapters will give you a more methodical way of approaching them. I will answer any questions when I comment on your blogs.
