  2. Agenda • Review where we are • Talk about where we’re headed • Take first step toward getting there--a homework assignment!

  3. Samples You’ve Developed • In the spotlight today: • Pages of first time web authors • Pages of authors with more experience • Pages of authors who developed their own style sheets or expanded the css inline/embedded using their home-resources. • You all have learned a considerable amount to accomplish this: KUDOS!!!

  4. Review • CSS inline and embedded code solved some of our problems, but not all and not consistently. Style sheets please! • Problem solving strategies when working with code included: • (list these here) • We’ve worked with structure and behavior for a website, but now we need to focus on content and the conventions that govern it.

  5. Intro to Assignment #2 Genre Analysis Paper Assignment

  6. Genre Defined • What we know about genres: • What we want to know about genres: • What the discipline says about genres: A habitual response to a recurring social situation. Traces of the response are recognizable as regularities of textual form. When these are seen as tools or rules, they’ve become ‘conventions’ of the form.

  7. Genre Defined, cont.’ • What this model shows us about how a genre of product reviews work. Product Reviews: Tucson Milk

  8. To Discuss: What is a Product Review? • Who writes? • Who reads? • What are the parts? • What makes one useful/good?

  9. Exercise • Create a review of our class text: Zeldman’s book. • Take a look at the online reviews and what audiences find helpful or not. • Write a review of Zeldman’s book. • Add a link to your review to your WRA 210 project page.

  10. Homework • Finish your review • Find a site you want to analyze • Download the questions to get your analysis started from the bottom of the assignment description site. • Begin answering the questions • Next class, we begin Photoshop as we look at the Onion and other parody sites.
