We focused on four things for this module:

1. Reflecting on how your revision went for the Literacy Narrative.
2. Starting to set up (if you haven’t started already!) the writing of your Rhetorical Analysis by focusing on finding your text and useful information about it, taking notes on your text, starting to formulate an argument, and making use of claims and evidence to perform an analysis.
3. Some more focus on style, particularly the rhetorical affordances of punctuation and the readability of our writing through thinking about sentence coherence.
4. Like punctuation, surveys help us pause and think. I wanted you to do some thinking on how the class has been going so we can adapt as needed (and also validate what is working well), so you completed a survey for me to help with that.

For 10/8, you will:

• Read the Mermin chapter on writing about physics. (PDF on Blackboard>Course Documents>Readings)
• Complete a Reading Annotation for Mermin with the old method that we have been doing all semester (we will adapt the Reading Annotation assignment once I have had a chance to look over surveys, which won’t be until Thursday, 10/8, at earliest)
