T/TR For Tuesday---NO TRADITIONAL CLASS ON THURSDAY

Hello all,

Today, we covered a lot of ground; however, some of you were not the most agile on the court. Yet, the class marches on. To begin, Professor Chris G highlighted the importance of the establishing the ordinary world and the call to adventure in movies. We then connected this to writing and to ethos.

Devin made a fantastic observation about pathos, logos, and ethos. We discussed the importance of having all three present for your reader. In addition, we touched on principals of tailoring these "three stooges" to our writing.

Next, we went over the project one revisions and then we began project two. We discussed the parameters of Project Two. The Overview is located on the blog under Project Two Overview for Sept. 30. We started to get the creativity flowing. Remember, at this point, you are not limiting your ideas; instead you are creating opportunities for inquiry and exploration.

I discussed my writing for my conference presentation this weekend, which is the reason why you are having a drafting day on Thursday. I will bring back pictures of the "misfit" from O'Conner's house.

For Thursday (outside class work)

Watch "The Red Scare" link on our class blog (ecandp2008fall.blogspot.com

Write-A comment on one of your peer's Vogler postings (must be complete before 10 am on Thursday)
