1) The document outlines the plan for today's class, which includes practicing rhetorical analysis of two versions of a song, workshops for crafting revision plans, and homework assignments. 2) Students will analyze different versions of a song to practice rhetorical skills and look at music. They will then work in groups to develop revision plans using specific criteria. 3) Homework includes attending a guest lecture on transnational literacy, answering a yes/no question on Tumblr about voting, analyzing a music cover on Tumblr, and submitting the second draft of an inquiry essay.

song x2
3)Activity – Workshop with Revision Plan crafting
4)Thursday…
5)Homework

3. Ads
Among your responses to the question about
advertising was one particularly interesting campaign
(of many, of course). Let’s look, quickly, at a few
Dove soap ads.

6. Music
One of the things we haven’t done, as a class, yet, is
look specifically at music. So I want to double-dip
and do some quick in-class rhetorical analysis of a
song while also looking at two examples of different
(literally and in the sense that we talked about in
class) voices.
Hopefully this won’t hurt.

9. Revision Plan:
You want to ask these things:
1) Are there MAJOR problems? If so, how can you
highlight them and what do you suggest to correct
them?
2) What’s the thesis/major claim? Does the essay
support that throughout?
3) Where are places where you feel that better
appeals could be made to the audience? How
might this be achieved?
4) Where do you want more? What do you want
more of? Why?
5) Where do you want less? What do you want
instead?

10. Give your group-mates
time to ask questions
Share your revision plans– talk about them.
And once you’ve finished that, synthesize a plan of
your own from the ideas your group-mates have
shared.

11. Thursday
On Thursday, there will be a guest speaker on
campus: Dr. Cindy Selfe from Ohio State University.
She’s going to speak about the topic of Transnational
Literacy.
I’d like you all to attend, but it’s at a weird timeslot: 5-
6:30 pm. in McGuffey 322. I am going to cancel classes
in the afternoon so that you can attend, but if you
cannot make that time, please let me know ASAP.
Earlier class: you get to choose. Would you like to
meet, or would you like to go to the presentation
instead?

12. For Thursday: Homework
Class: Cindy Selfe on Transnational Literacy in McGuffey
322. 5:00-6:30
Tumblr question: This one is easy– just a yes or no and a
quick why. Are you planning to vote this year? I’m not
asking who you’d vote for, or why… just IF you are voting.
Tumblr prompt: Find a musical cover (like the ones we
looked at in class today), link it, and do an analysis like
the ones we did together. Remember your training. 
Afternoon classes: Due, Inquiry 2 (by the end of the day,
uploaded with reflective memo, to Niihka).
