Rhetorical Response #4

The readings for Rhetorical Response #4 are in your TCU Common Reading packet. If you're a first semester freshman, you should have gotten this reading packet the week before school. Of course, if someone gave me a packet of readings 3 months ago I would have lost them by now, so I have sent an electronic version of these readings to your email as a .PDF file.

There is no formal prompt for RR #4, but I'd like to remind you to read over the Rhetorical Response assignment sheet to make sure you're meeting the criteria for the assignments.

I hope this helps. Happy Blogging. And Go Frogs!

Rhetorical Response #3

As we enter into the writing process for Essay 3, I'd like you to consider how Hall's "Home Girl" models an effective personality profile. Specifically, I'd like you to [1] explore how Hall makes Badu seem "real" to us by using candid, specific detail. Where do you see moments of excellent description? How do the candid details influence your reading experience. I'd also like you to [2] examine how Hall connect Badu (and her profile) to a larger culture. How does this connection enhance your reading experience? Does it make the profile more meaningful to you as a reader?

As you begin this assignment, please make sure to review the "Blogging Rhetorically" handout; this handout specifies criteria for grading, length, and other assignment criteria. Remember, also, that you should comment on 3 of your peers' blogs after every Formal Blog posting. These comments (of at least 50 words each; see syllabus for details) should be completed by Friday at 5:00 PM.

Happy Blogging!
