PROF NOTES ON WRITER'S VOICE FOR PROJECT 1 NARRATIVE ARGUMENT
Hi there! Here are some "prof notes" to help you with Project 1:
You will be writing a STORY. yes, a NARRATIVE. Â
You will be the NARRATOR! Â
This is a SHORT PAPER (2 pages double-spaced minimum--yes, you can go over that, but every line you go over had better be worth reading! If it's still good, I'm still reading. ;)
BECAUSE this is a SHORT PAPER, you cannot write an autobiographical essay (and that's NOT the purpose). You must choose an event, a "happening," that you witnessed and/or experienced and that tells an argument on its own--without hitting the reader over the head with a blatant thesis statement. Â
So.... that means you will NOT have a thesis such as "this narrative argues that friends should show up in times of need because friendship can be one of life's most fulfilling relationships."Â NO -- instead, your STORY ILLUSTRATING that argues for itself.
You want your readers to finish READING YOUR STORY AND STOP, LOOK UP, AND SAY, "WOW -- THAT WAS A POWERFUL STORY ABOUT ______ THAT ARGUES THE IMPORTANCE OF ____"
As Chapter 9 encourages us, FOCUS ON SIMPLY TELLING A STORY IN A POWERFUL WAY --to illustrate a human experience in ways that speak powerful to others who may see it differently if they witness the HUMAN STORYTELLING perspective in sharing it.
DO NOT SKIP YOUR READINGS THIS WEEK!
Chapter 2 gives some EXCELLENT foundational information about two key argument theorists (Kenneth Burke, known for theories of identification and consubstantiation, and Carl Rogers, known for Rogerian rhetoric). YOU NEED TO BE TAKING NOTES ON EVERY CHAPTER, even if brief ones based on keywords and contributors -- because guess what??--YOU CAN USE THESE NOTES WHEN YOU WRITE YOUR FINAL REFLECTION PAPER FOR YOUR EFOLIO IN THIS COURSE! and save yourself lots of time in December!
GUIDANCE on what you should be taking notes on in Chapter 2, for example: how generative arguments differ from "regular old arguments"; definition of identification, definition of "frame," how identification can also occur due to collective efforts AGAINST something (see Page 25), and the dangers of identification "gone bad" (pandering, scapegoating, blame game, exaggeration, and fearmongering); list of common frames on Page 27 (these could help you with your own topics throughout the semester! -- spend time thinking about which ones in that purpose table are IMPORTANT to you and why!; the importance of sounding reasonable, fair, and positive (see George Lakoff, Page 28); use of metaphors, stories, anecdotes, hypothetical examples, fables, parables; definition of Rogerian argument and its 4 steps (Page 33); the importance of consensus and dissensus (avoiding silencing or apathy) in our world of communication (see Page 35).
YES, TAKE NOTES ON YOUR READING. CHAPTER 2, FOR EXAMPLE, will help you with more than one paper this semester! You may need to use the 4 steps of Rogerian argument, for example, in your propos ...

This presentation will focus on developing a curriculum built around inquiry-based units of instruction in a secondary language arts classroom. Audiences will have the chance to see evidence of how the use of essential questions can lead students into a process of inquiry, giving them the skills they need to think critically, question the world around them, and broaden and deepen their perspectives by connecting with others. Audiences will embark on a journey that takes them through a course entitled, âThe American Teenager,â and see the activities, assessments, and instructional strategies that transformed this course from a traditional study of American Literature to a course that is relevant, engaging, and challenging for teenagers in the 21st century. Through essential questions like âHow do societal expectations impact our identity?â, âWhat are the costs and benefits of conformity?â and âIs the American Dream a reality for all?â, this course blends classic and contemporary, and combines writers like Sherman Alexie with The Breakfast Club, Henry David Thoreau with text messaging, and Catcher in the Rye with Jay-Z. Audiences will gain important techniques for creating a classroom built around student-led discussions, including Socratic Seminars and blogging, as well as see examples of competency based assessments fully aligned with the Iowa Core Curriculum and National Common Core Standards.

Dear Prof âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ
I want to commence by expressing my sincere appreciation to my instructor who has been nothing but supportive all the way. The assistance came both directly and indirectly, it was the mandate of the student to distinguish between the two without feeling left out. In terms of writing, the knowledge and skills you have impacted us with is more than enough. I can assure you from a student standpoint that the class did meet its objective. The class enabled me to be cognizant of my strengths and weaknesses as a writer. It is my belief that at this point, my writing gives a sense of an adept writer who is able to elucidate ideas effectively, thanks to you. Writing expanded my parochial outlook of life as I started paying attention to little details that most people overlook.
To become a quintessential writer takes time and I had all the patience the world could provide. I identified my weak points and worked my way up with every tool the content provided in perfecting my flaws. As a writer I have kept on evolving to become who I am today. There is a huge variation between when I first registered for this course and my current level as a writer. I used to make grammar errors and my punctuation was poor. With the internet being fingertips away, I self-taught myself the different and main types of essay formats used in argumentative, persuasive and research papers. The internet being unfiltered, information is not given in a consistent manner and you end up an incomplete writer. But thanks to the course, I had to begin from scratch and making adjustments where I perceived there were loopholes.
Some of the projects in the course were allocated to groups. This also played a key-role in my growth as a writer. It is really amazing to grasp otherâs perspective of situations as you also air your opinion in contribution. Group projects provide a give-and-take platform where opinions that are highly acknowledged are considered while the less regarded offers one an opportunity to work on them. It is through such group projects, that I became more challenged to improve. My code in life has always been to take each day at a time. You cannot change how time operates. I did develop as a writer and I am still learning each day to become the best there is. I took your criticism positively and it has made a lot of difference in the long run. When I began, I would write for the sake of getting good remarks and that was the end of the story. Such an attitude is good for a student but its benefits are short-lived if you want to operate beyond the walls of a student. That is when I discovered on the need of passion to be an effective writer in terms of communicating and presenting ideas.
As an experienced writer, I can attest that there is an art and science in writing viral content that is relevant to its purpose and at the same time thought-provoking. The cours ...

Presenter's slides for Safe Zone training offered at a Catholic school. Our approach blended common content, Benedictine principles, and the school's core values.
Too often, the use of technology in education works to force compliance and demand that students follow predictable patterns. These suggestions show how students' agency and voice can be developed through novel uses of technology in the classroom.
Access(Able): Envisioning Pedagogues as Student Advocates in Digital SpacesChris Friend
Â
In today's world of big data and online education, we face the challenges of corporate interests out to profit from user profiling, institutions ready to outsource every aspect of education, and the unquestioning acceptance of conditions that exploit the powerless and disenfranchised. Educators must speak up on behalf of our students.
Digital Literacies in FYC Classrooms: Enhancing Understanding, Engagement, an...Chris Friend
Â
The curriculum we use at the University of Central Florida, Writing about Writing, can be intimidating to students because they are expected to read, understand, and enact difficult theoretical concepts in composition and writing studies. Rather than attempting to teach students âhow to write,â our curriculum focuses on teaching students transferrable concepts about writing, so they can apply this knowledge outside of the composition classroom. Some of the criticism of this curriculum has centered around the idea that introducing students to theoretical writing concepts by having them read scholarship in the field of rhetoric and composition may be overly complex and may limit the engagement and understanding of first-year writing students. We suggest that incorporating studentsâ existing digital literacies into the composition classroom may increase the success of writing-concept transfer into studentsâ future writing situations.
From Mickey Mouse to Cigar City: What Flexibility, Interdisciplinarity, and a...Chris Friend
Â
I present experiences on the job market during the dissertation process. This presentation will focus on the hidden benefits of nontraditional, interdisciplinary degrees in a job market still largely defined by disciplinary divisions. I also address the hidden challenges of seeking employment at small, private, liberal-arts universities after working at and graduating from a large, research-driven public institution. This session will highlight the rhetorical shifts required when navigating between working in a large, nationally renowned composition program and interviewing with small English departments that may not (yet!) follow current trends in composition pedagogy. This speaker will address the effects of differing institutional perspectives, the importance of contextualizing oneâs experience and strengths, and other insights from a recent successful job search.
âWeâre Not Ideologically Neutralâ Using Open-Access Journals for Community/Ad...Chris Friend
Â
This presentation expands directly upon Maurerâs âgive voice to SoTLâ charge by addressing how journals can be used to disseminate, popularize, and even shape the thinking within an interdisciplinary field of research. I will argue that journals have an obligation to give voice to the oppressed. And while we donât often think of SoTL as being oppressed per se, I will show how scholarly advocacyâspecifically in online, open-access venuesâis vital to the growth and survival of the discipline. Issues of access, gatekeeping, advocacy, community-building, and scholarly rigor will be discussed, positioning SoTL as perfect material for online academic publication and open-access journals as the perfect means of preserving and developing the field.
Learn about âdouble-openâ peer review and the benefits of an iterative editorial processes. See how subtle-yet-persistent publication strategies change academic writing. This session dissects Hybrid Pedagogyâs ethos, exposing the principles and practices that turn an online journal into a form of experimental classroom.
This session challenges us to rethink our approaches to the classroom, looking critically at everything from the syllabus to assignments, assessments, discussions, and even furniture placement. Weâll engage questions of motivation and authority in ways that prioritize people over programs.
Combatting Otherness Through Discourse Community AnalysisChris Friend
Â
Analyzing Discourse communities within a Writing About Writing course can empower students to learn about their careers and personalities, so long as theyâre focused on their own interests.
Modality as Contact Zone: The Convolution of Access, Politics, and Ethics in ...Chris Friend
Â
This presentation uses a 2011 Florida law as a context for examining course modality as a contact zone. The law requires all high-school students to take at least one online course before graduation. The politically minded law ignores complex issues of access and ethics that become reified in our FYC courses. I will examine the âcultural and ideological characteristicsâ of this technological requirement to identify how writing instruction in various modalities can accommodate (or defend against) student expectations for online learning.
The Missing Link: Interventions for Enhancing Traditional Student CompositionChris Friend
Â
Typical composition courses have students create documents that are inherently print-centric, designed for the page regardless of whether that physical form is necessary or appropriate. Writing for electronic environments uses the hyperlink as an essential rhetorical element of communication, and traditional documents can easily be enhanced with hyperlinks using available, familiar tools. This presentation advocates for the incorporation of hyperlinks into composition assignments and instruction.
More Than Cogs: Using MOOC Pedagogies to Resist the Mechanization of FYC Stud...Chris Friend
Â
This presentation discusses whether the characteristics of successful MOOCs can apply to traditional, smaller, and in-person first-year writing coursesâspecifically, their openness, their tendency toward connectivity, and their use of distance.
Implications of Delivery Mode for Outcomes-Based FYCChris Friend
Â
Presents preliminary findings of a study comparing hybrid/blended and face-to-face delivery modes of a FYC course. Includes responses from teacher interviews and student perception surveys.
Taking a Bite in the Middle: Implementing Digital Portfolios in FYC CoursesChris Friend
Â
This presentation explores the benefit of implementing single-document digital portfolios in a first-year writing course. I position these portfolios as an accessible, flexible middle ground between traditional paper portfolios and fully online electronic portfolios.
From Knowledge-Seeking to Knowledge-Making: Improving Intellectual Capital in...Chris Friend
Â
This presentation leverages the tension between genuine and artificial assessment and position first-year composition courses as an essential element in studentsâ transition from knowledge seekers to knowledge makers. FYC allows students to reform their relationship with information by introducing students to primary research and genuine inquiry based on authentic writing situations. A curriculum built around genuine inquiry naturally causes us to draw out the self-reliance, self-interest, and intellectual capital in our students.
Built Beyond the Walls: Bringing MOOC Strategies into the Composition ClassroomChris Friend
Â
This presentation explores the pedagogical issues raised by MOOCs and shows how strategies of collaboration, assessment, and reflection used in massive online courses can support teaching and learning within the traditional composition classroom.
Umbrella or Bridge: Discourse communities as the centerpiece of FYCChris Friend
Â
This presentation reviewed conversations and results from a curriculum-revision task force charged with re-imagining how discourse communities can feature in our first-year writing courses. The task force positioned discourse communities as the centerpiece of the class, but with multiple small assignments, rather than a single high-stakes writing task.
I show how discourse communities can be presented in manageable segments to help students acquire a social view of writing. Presented material includes sample assignment sheets, an explanation of our assessment strategy, and critical reflection from a teacher who piloted this approach.
I presented this talk at the Classroom Matters: Pedagogy in Practice and Philosophy conference at the University of Florida, February 2013.

The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
⢠The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
⢠The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate âany matterâ at âany timeâ under House Rule X.
⢠The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.
2. Our students write papers for one-time
consumption and are even penalized for re-
using work as an act of plagiarism. When
they submit a paper for a grade, they
essentially canât think of it again (except for
revision in portfolio-based classes).
3.
4. I propose an âecologicalâ approach to
writing classes that encourages re-use of
ideas and recycling of papers as the primary
goal of writingâthe value of student work
is determined by how well/much/often it is
re-consumed by others.
6. The push for open access in academic journals has
not yet resonated in the classroom. However, calls
for more ďŹexible, more situationally dependent,
and more creative assignmentsâcombined with
experiments in open-access courses like MOOCs
âplace more emphasis on the purposes and
potential re-use of texts created in class.
7.
8. We know learning (and teaching!) doesnât happen
like this, but the image exempliďŹes the issue of
effective re-use.
Jean-Marc CĂ´tĂŠ created this picture postcard around
1900, as marketing material for a company that went
out of business before the cards were mass-
produced. As a result, he had a nonexistent audience.

10. Isaac Asimov ultimately gained possession of the full
set of 50 postcards and wrote a book about them,
providing historical context for modern audiences.
Without the re-use, these cards could have been lost.
Chris Anson used the postcard about futuristic
learning in his 2013 Chairâs Address at the Conference
on College Composition and Communication, giving
the original image even more purpose.
Why do we not hold the same goals for students?
12. Before coming to the university, students spend
13 years learning how to write to their teachers.
If we re-conceive the goal of writing as purposeful
re-use, students must consider how to negotiate
the needs of their unfamiliar audiences. Writing
would become a purpose-driven act, rather than a
set expectation to achieve.

14. One Chapman University student was asked to
write an âopen letterâ for his English 208 course.
He wrote about an NHL lockout, making an
argument for why the commissioner of the sport
should work to remedy the situation. The letter
was posted to a blog he made for the class.

16. A reporter for Yahoo! Sports found the
letter, re-blogged it on the Yahoo! Sports
page, and made the studentâs blog popular
overnightâŚessentially âgoing viralâ.
This practical re-use was only possible
because the work was visible publicly, by the
intended audience and other stakeholders.
18. At the risk of over-extending my metaphor into
inappropriate territory, we should view our
assignment as fertilizer for the ideas our
students have in class discussion, giving those
ideas direction, energy, and purpose.
We must also allow student work to air out, be
seen outside the classroom, potentially
inďŹuencing others and reďŹecting the real
potential of writing: change.
