Week 11

It is going to be the 11th week of this semester. Time does fly! We are almost done with our reading logs (I have read two really good log 6s!), have only one essay to go, and have the final DST project to be done in groups. Isn't that nice!

For our last essay, we'll approach it using the comparison/contrast strategy. As an example, we have read an advertisement analysis essay that compares two brands in terms of their rhetoric strategies and implied and explicit messages communicated throughout the text.  The images coming along with the ad lines in each ad attract different groups of audience/potential buyers and indeed make their intended meanings more interesting and vividly represented. This week, we'll read other essays to explain how to write with the comparing/contrast pattern to communicate, argue, and persuade readers.   

Then, we should start our final project in no time. This project invites you to share ideas about the community you engage in daily, or the one you are the most familiar with. I found one posted reading log is quite relevant! More explanation will be provided in class. See ya!
