Unit 3 Proposals

Your posting this week should discuss your Unit 3 Project: Creating Public Arguments. At this point you group should have [1] chosen an issue/debate you'd like to enter, [2] discussed what you'd like to say in this ongoing conversation, and [3] started discussing the genres/mediums you'd like to use when making your arguments.

In your posting I'd like to address all three of these elements, highlighting any questions or concerns your group may have as you proceed with this project.

Please remember that every group member should post independently, but the content of your proposals can be the same. Your posting is due by 8AM on Thursday and your response to your peers by 5PM on Friday.

Unit 3 Job Titles and Descriptions

Welcome back to blogging! As we begin Unit 3, a collaborative project, I've asked you to think about an ideal group work situation. We wrote and talked in class about what would make group projects more effective, and most seemed to think that everyone "pulling equal weight" was key. In an effort to facilitate that ideal situation, I asked everyone to define their role in the group, developing both a job title and job description.

In this week's blog posting, I'd like you to discuss your group job title and description. What role are you playing in the group? What are your primary responsibilities? How will your role help the group function efficiently? In addition to answering these questions, please list your other group members (mainly to help me keep track of everyone!).

Please remember that your blog posting is due by 8AM on Thursday and your responses to your peers are due by 5PM on Friday.
