Campaign for Circulation Schedule Peer Review (20-30 min)

Let’s pair up and share what each of you is doing for your in-progress Campaign for Circulation schedule:

• Mention the gist: goals, audiences, timeline of campaign, organization you are representing, texts, how things will be data-driven
• Have partner respond with one thing they really like and why
• Have partner respond with one thing they really like that they might try to do in their campaign
• Have partner respond with one point of possible revision for a text, campaign strategy, how things are data-driven or not, rhetorical strategies, circulation strategies, etc.

 

Work on Prototypes (20-30 min)

-Data-Driven (statistics? Interpretations of data?)

-Communicating context (being humble but underlining the argument, adding caveats, using historical and cultural knowledge to inform rhetorical choices)

-Rhetorical strategies (amplification? quantitative comparison? use of examples? document design? accessibility? using emotion?)

-Considering genre and mode (are you thinking of genre conventions? do your choices make sense given the way the item is expressed verbally, visually, via audio, via video, etc.?

-How will one of the prototypes incorporate a data visualization of some kind?

-Dream big: what is the vision? What can you accomplish as a prototype even if it doesn’t completely match your vision?

For the next 15 minutes or so, work on your prototypes with these questions in mind. When ready, share one response to one of these questions in our Discord channel for today.

 

Plan for End of Semester (10 min)

If time, we can again go over the final reflective project and grade boost options.

For May 10, I want you to complete this brief survey to let me know what you are thinking about doing.

This survey helps me because then I know what to expect, roughly, from each student and it can help me prioritize things (e.g., get feedback to students sooner if they are planning on revising the Campaign for Circulation assignment after submitting it on May 12).

This survey helps you because it helps you start to plan and commit to something. Writing something down and exchanging it with someone else can be motivating because it holds you accountable. While none of this is set in stone and you can change your decision, it can be a good first step to just kind of say it out loud what you will do.

Here is a link to the grade boost survey.

 

Next Time (2-5 min)

-Submit the May 10 survey about your grade boost decisions.

-Keep working on Campaign for Circulation project

-Start thinking about getting started on the final reflective project

-Start thinking about getting started on grade boost assignments, if you are doing any
