DJP #7
On Thursday we talked more about concepts; we learned strategies that would help you to research and hone in on your concept; and we began to talk about strategies for drafting your essays. This digital journal builds upon that list of goals. It is meant to push your drafting forward.
During class, we did watch the TED Talk I was going to assign, Adam Savage talking about the concept of cosplay. We are going to listen to a podcast during class on Tuesday. Also during Tuesday’s class I will introduce your team assignment. So, be sure that you are prepared to consider your concept, have done some research to understand that concept, and have done some thinking about your audience. To that end, here is your prompt for DJP #7:
Your calendar asks you to refer to pages 151-155 of SM Guide to help you to draft. Use it. On page 153, you will find a box with a title highlighted in blue: “What makes the concept interesting to me and my readers?” In it, you will see that the box is divided into 3 sections of questions to help you to draft. I want you to choose 1 question from each of those sections. You will answer them in your DJP entry. Notice that the 2nd section is about audience.
DJP #7
In your digital journal post, please respond to a single question from each section of the box on page 153. That should be 3 questions in total, one on your concept, one considering your audience, and that helps you to explain why this writing matters.
In your post, use 1 of the sentence strategies from Chapter 16, “Defining.” See especially page 568. These strategies are meant to be an aid to your building your toolbox of writing strategies. Choose one that seems to lend itself to defining your concept, and bend it to your concept. (You will probably use this to respond to the question you chose for the 1st section on Page 153.) Bold the sentence in your post.
Because of the nature of your task, you ought to respond with at least 3 full paragraphs.
This DJP is due by 11:00 on Tuesday, March 7. Happy drafting!!!
