Class Notes:
Unit 3 –> putting to use everything that we have learned all semester
Major Projects:
- Annotated bibliographies: for every source write 2 paragraphs on it.
First paragraph: what it is, background info, etc
Second paragraph: what use it has for you
- Conversation dialogue
Joe Harris Notes:
- Before we can do close work with our writing, we need to really understand sources completely
- Countering –>
- J.Harris 3 step process: come to terms with the point of view, identified the limits or problems with the perspective, construct your own position and response
- Sources: you’re looking for sources that will help develop thinking and not so much articles that agree with your stance
- Pg 57: 3 ways to think about countering work
- Pick up on something someone has said, complicate it or dispute it
- Uncover the significance about what they have overlooked
- Disagreement: find the limitations of what others have said
Importance of engaging with different perspectives:
- Enhances the significance of what you have to say
- It’s a better approach to acknowledge what others have to say and avoids emotional attacks
