We have reading in AB and DK due for class. This gets us caught up on the reading (except for the Graphics and Data lesson).

Well, this is a little late (I seem to be getting further behind as the semester goes – I’ll work on that).
In any case, as I said in class, you have the reading about Classical Arguments due today.
You also should have your peer draft of the Proposal/Annotated Bibliography ready to go.

I will probably also finish up our discussion of Logos.
You need to email me your Review of Literature before class starts on Tuesday for homework.
You should also have your Peer Draft ready to go out, as we will be getting into peer review groups for [...]

I apologize for the late notice on this – my internet went down over the weekend. Of course, this is all in the syllabus, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise.
On Tuesday, we are going to be talking about Reviews of Literature and Categorizing. These are both important for the Proposal part of the next [...]

There is a little bit of reading for Thursday. It is about annotated bibliographies. Yes, that’s right, we are starting the 3rd paper already!

For Tuesday, review the chapters in Allyn and Bacon and the DK Handbook that tell you all about APA style and formatting.
I’d recommend focusing especially well on the first couple pages of each one as they give general rules and stuff there.
Also, make sure to be ready to send out your peer reviews after class. [...]

Make sure to read AB 611-625 and DK 144-145, 308-325. This is all about incorporating sources into your writing using quote, summary, and paraphrase.
We’ll talk a lot about Ethos, Pathos, and Logos in class, too.
Finally, make sure to attach a draft version of your synthesis to an email that you send to me.
