Genres of literature
Literature can be categorized into genres based on certain stylistic criteria. The three main genres of literature are poetry, prose, and drama. Poetry uses aesthetic and rhythmic language and includes lyric, narrative, and descriptive forms. Prose is written without meter and includes fiction like realistic and fantastic stories, as well as non-fiction genres such as biography and essays. Drama is literature intended for performance and includes genres like comedy, tragedy, and musicals.
Rhetorical analysis
The document provides guidance on analyzing the rhetorical context and style of a text. For rhetorical context, it discusses analyzing the author's background and credibility, the type and purpose of the source, the intended audience, and sources of information. For style, it discusses analyzing the diction and tone, sentence structure, figurative language, and organization. Understanding the rhetorical context and style of a text is important for critically analyzing what message the author intends to convey and to whom.

Thesis statement.ppt
The document discusses the key features of an effective thesis statement, including that it should:
1) Be a complete sentence that contains the main idea of the essay.
2) Often be located at the end of the introductory paragraph.
3) Express an opinion or attitude on the topic rather than just stating a fact.
4) Sometimes include subtopics to give the reader a sense of how the essay will be organized.
5) Avoid directly announcing the main topic and should capture the reader's interest.
reaction-paper.pptx
This document provides guidance on writing a reaction paper, which analyzes a piece by summarizing it, evaluating its strengths and weaknesses, and sharing personal reactions. It outlines a 5-paragraph structure including an introduction, 3 body paragraphs with supporting details, and a conclusion. The document contrasts reaction papers with diaries, noting reaction papers are more formal and aim to enlighten others rather than just the author. It provides questions to consider for each section and examples of modern iterations of reaction papers like reviews.
Analyzing and evaluating arguments
This document discusses how to evaluate arguments. To evaluate an argument, you first analyze it by identifying the claim, or conclusion, the author is trying to persuade the reader of. You then identify the evidence or reasons the author provides to support the claim. Finally, you critically analyze the strength of the evidence and how well it actually supports the claim. A strong, valid argument will have evidence that is truthful and clearly supports its claim.
Figurative Languages or Figures of Speech
A figure of speech or rhetorical figure is figurative language in the form of a single word or phrase. It can be a special repetition, arrangement or omission of words with literal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words.
In truth, there are a wealth of these literary tools in the English language. But, let's start out by exploring some of the most common figure of speech examples.
For example,
Synecdoche:
Synecdoche occurs when a part is represented by the whole or, conversely, the whole is represented by the part.
Examples include:
Wheels - a car
The police - one policeman
Plastic - credit cards
Figurative language is often associated with literature and with poetry in particular. Whether we're conscious of it or not, we use figures of speech every day in our own writing and conversations.
Figures of speech are also known as figures of rhetoric, figures of style, rhetorical figures, figurative language, and schemes.
A figure of speech is a use of a word that diverges from its normal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words in it such as a metaphor, simile, or personification. Figures of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity.
Through the use of figures of speech, the author makes significant the insignificant, makes seem less important the overemphasized, brings colour and light, insight, understanding and clarity.
Figures of speech allow us to assess, interpret and critically analyze not only the writer's attempt, but also his or her purpose.

The Life Charitable Trust advertisement features an image of a vulnerable child behind barbed wire, using large text to draw attention to helping children. Both aim to position audiences as heroes by donating, though Shelter focuses on reassurance of helping thousands while LCT encourages a stance against social issues. Overall, the ads use visuals and text to appeal to left-leaning audiences with messages of inclusion and charitable aid.

Fall start up meeting
The agenda discusses an upcoming meeting to address the recent redesign of English 1010 and 2010 curriculum at SLCC. Key topics include contextualizing the redesign, discussing challenges and goals through small and large groups, and identifying opportunities for instructional teams and reflective writing prompts to assess student learning of writing concepts.
Re-negotiating the borders and boundaries of composition
The document discusses the English department at Salt Lake Community College transitioning to using threshold concepts as an organizing framework for their general education writing curriculum.
Four years ago, the department began a major revamp of the writing curriculum using threshold concepts. They have found threshold concepts to be a student-centered, flexible, and durable framework for guiding curriculum development.
The department has engaged in ongoing reflection and assessment of their use of threshold concepts, including re-assessing their approach to composition curriculum and pedagogy at open access institutions. They have worked to reshape their practices using a threshold framework.
TYCA 2017 Situating Composition
The document discusses adapting an open educational resources (OER) English curriculum to meet the needs of a learning community focused on the theme of "Place." Key points:
1. The OER curriculum was modified to incorporate the theme of place by having students analyze writing within specific places and how place influences their writing and identity.
2. Threshold concepts about the rhetorical nature of writing and how meaning depends on context were emphasized across project assignments.
3. The flexible OER curriculum allowed it to be easily adapted to the learning community while still addressing core concepts of writing and rhetoric.
4. Teaching the same OER curriculum in a women's prison presented additional logistical challenges but also demonstrated how writing is
Theoretical frameworks
This document discusses Salt Lake Community College's Open SLCC program, which has transitioned much of its general education courses, including writing courses, to open educational resources (OER).
Some key points:
- Open SLCC has saved students over $4.6 million since 2013 and over 75% of general education writing courses now use open resources.
- The program has allowed for faculty agency and creativity in course design using flexible open resources.
- A case study examines using "threshold concepts" from writing studies to structure OER for English courses. These concepts provide durable, flexible and responsive frameworks for curricula.
- An online-plus version of English 1010 leverages OER across its three
TYCA-WEst 2016
This presentation discusses the relations between a growing interest in Open Educational Resources and first-year writing curriculum development as well as professional development of FYW faculty at two-year colleges.
Researching yourself: An overview of research methods
This document provides an overview of qualitative research methods that can be used to study oneself and one's own experiences. It discusses 5 potential methods: 1) collecting textual artifacts, 2) self-observation, 3) journaling and reflection, 4) interviews, and 5) artistic composition. Each method involves different activities to collect different types of data for interpretation and gaining new insights. The appropriate method depends on the goals and what type of data is most useful.
Re-imagining Composition @ SLCC
A presentation on the curricular redesign initiative at SLCC. Thresholds concepts and transfer theory are driving this initiative.
What is college level writing?
The document discusses disagreements around the purpose of first-year writing courses and different theories of writing instruction. It introduces the concept of threshold concepts that are fundamental to a discipline and occasion shifts in understanding. Workshop participants are asked to identify threshold concepts for composition courses and discuss how they demonstrate characteristics of being transformative, irreversible, troublesome, and liminal.
Rhetoric Society of American Conference Presentation 2014
The document discusses genre competition through student activist videos at UC Davis during protests in 2011. It analyzes how the student videos used semiotic resources to construct social identities that competed with and disrupted the "official" messages from the university administration. The videos enacted socio-political disruption by remediating social identities in a way that competed with the administration's messages. The disruptive potential of the videos lies in the semiotic resources used to construct identities and how they interacted with those in the official messages.

Watson Conference Presentation 2014
This document discusses approaches to rhetorical education that focus on everyday practices in urban spaces. It critiques models that view cities as broken and in need of repair through policy-driven civic engagement. Alternatively, it proposes understanding cities as networks constantly becoming through relationships. The pedagogical focus shifts to rhetoric and writing as generative political acts that construct and transform relations, with possibilities emerging from students' desires to assemble cities through everyday actions. It provides the example of a project mapping Salt Lake City as an evolving narrative where community members in dialogue contribute their stories and perspectives.
TYCA-West Presentation 2014
This document summarizes key insights from a study exploring students' literate lives and practices. It discusses having students conduct self-studies to examine how they use writing in various contexts. Examples of research methods are provided, such as culture-grams and audience interviews. Student conclusions show insights gained, such as recognizing how social media use shapes identity and how sharing healthy recipes conveys messages to audiences. One student concluded their Dungeons and Dragons role-playing incorporates storytelling, writing and other literate practices.
Auto ethnographic research methods
Auto-ethnography is a qualitative research method that combines autobiography and ethnography to study one's own culture or social context. It involves using personal experiences and artifacts to understand cultural experiences. Key aspects include self-observation, reviewing textual artifacts, taking field notes, and chronicling activities to understand how the personal relates to the cultural.
Rhetorical Work of Composing with Audio
The document discusses how composing with audio uses sound rhetorically to direct audience attention and influence how audiences experience texts. It defines key terms for analyzing audio texts, including soundscape, voiceover, signals, keynotes, and fade in/out. It prompts considering how these elements are used to create soundscapes and direct listener attention in audio texts.
(Summer) research methods presentation
The document discusses several qualitative research methods including observational studies, narrative inquiry, archival research, library research, ethnography, and content analysis. For archival research, researchers use archives to find and interpret primary sources. For library research, researchers read secondary sources and search databases for primary sources. Ethnography involves living with research subjects to gain personal insight into their experiences. Content analysis examines texts to identify repeating words, phrases or concepts that help analyze people or cultures.
(Summer) inventing projects and inquiries presentation
This document discusses developing a project idea to research areas and concepts of place in Salt Lake City. It poses three questions:
1. What specific area or site would make an interesting topic to write about for engaged citizens?
2. What concepts of place have been identified in SLC and which are worth pursuing, such as gentrification and the changing identity of Marmalade neighborhood?
3. How broad or narrow should the project scope be - should it cover a wide geographical area and audiences or focus more narrowly? It prompts groups to use their walking tour narratives to imagine a tangible research project idea.
Research methods presentation
This document discusses several qualitative research methods including observational studies, narrative inquiry, archival research, library research, ethnography, and content analysis. Observational studies involve observing subjects in their natural environment and recording observations. Narrative inquiry tells stories of subjects' experiences through collected data. Archival research uses archives to find and interpret primary sources. Library research involves reading and interpreting secondary sources and searching databases. Ethnography involves living with and like subjects to gain personal insights. Content analysis examines texts to look for repeating words, phrases or concepts to analyze people or cultures. Coding is used to engage in content analysis by deciding concepts and words to code for and developing rules to analyze results.
Day 11 p2 and p3 presentation
These documents provide an overview of two linked individual projects, Projects 2 and 3, that explore a site through different lenses. Project 2 involves composing a research report about a place to publish online, focusing on informing readers. Project 3 involves composing a narrative argument about a hidden story of the site to create a strong sense of place. Students are prompted to develop good inquiry questions that shape their research methods for both projects. Examples of potential questions and methods are provided. The class is then directed to draft an inquiry statement refining their question and outlining necessary research methods.
On Invention: What projects and inquiries are worth pursuing?
The document provides questions for students to debrief their walking tour of Liberty Park. It asks them to summarize what they did on the tour and what they discovered about the park. It also asks them to reflect on what they learned about researching and writing about place from the experience. Finally, it prompts them to consider how the insights from the tour and narrative could inform early project ideas.
CCCC 2012
The document proposes a heuristic to assess technology practices in writing programs in order to plan responsive reform. It suggests mapping interconnected practices around technological literacies, pedagogies, and attitudes of faculty and students. Analyzing a program's practices reveals unsustainable conditions and the support systems that maintain them. The author provides an example analysis that identified issues with faculty's functional literacies and attitudes around course management systems. Reforms were implemented in three parts: adopting a new CMS, integrating technology into the curriculum, and focusing professional development on technology development. The heuristic is presented as a way for programs to internally assess practices and define their own technology reforms.
