12.3 Rhetorical analysis presentations

Great job on your presentations!   So now we have an idea of what some of the venues are looking for, and which ones might be interested in our work.  Well done.

Next week will be planning for the final reading.  As announced in class, I am still lining up for the location.  At present I am thinking it will be CAS 351, or CAS 308 - I will give you an update next week.

Practice for final presentations.
During the first part of next week's class you will practice for the final reading/presentation.  As we discussed, during most readings, the author gives a short presentation about where the piece came from or how it was written.  Since this is a writing class, anything you might add about how the piece developed, how you revised it, etc - would work.   Your introduction + your piece should come to about 8-12 minutes. You will have time in class to practice giving your intro + presenting your reading.

Let me know if you are bringing guests - so I can make an estimate on the space.

We will create the program (the order for readers) in class next week.  

Creating your portfolio
During the second part of class next week, we will walk through creating your portfolio site using google.sites.  It is an app available to you through your Kean google account.  The model portfolio os posted to the right.

Blog 14: draft craft essay or any essay you would like to work on for revision (and receive some comments)

See you next week!
