Picture a student in your last class. Which questions will be helpful to that student? What would his/her writing be like? Prereading

  14. Complete Activity 3 for yourself. Choose 10 words from the list that describe you. Add 10 words of your own. Then prioritize those words. Share with a partner and listen as your partner comments on the character you have revealed through your choices. Reflect on the classroom experience. Exploring key concepts

  15. Look through the activities to see how prereading is woven throughout this module. What does this say about the reading process? Prereading continues

Teaching Text Rhetorically • Read the article in your small groups. • Develop activities for the section of the Assignment Template assigned to your group. • Check with the groups that have cells just before or after your cell for flow of the lesson. • Debrief the activity and provide feedback to each other on the activities created.

  20. Return to the modules and consider the rhetorical situations of the writing tasks across modules. In small groups, discuss and complete the table asking for the elements of the rhetorical situation of each task. Context (which includes some conflict or need [exigence])—What occasion/need calls for argument/persuasion? What issue does it address? Actor—Who are students called to be in the situation created by the prompt (expert, teacher, colleague, friend, sibling . . .)? Purpose—What are students to accomplish in their writing? Why? Audience—Whom are they trying to persuade? Medium (for our purposes, usually a form of writing)—How should they be communicating? What does thinking of these tasks in these terms add to your understanding? Writing Tasks
