Homework for 2/11

Hi everyone,

Here is your homework for Thursday, 2/11:

1. Read Ch.1 and 2. of Thompson, from her book Extraordinary Bodies (Bb). Make sure that you also bring all the other readings we have done so far to class.
2. Using at least of the five items on the checklist in Envision on pp. 62-63, or the one on pp. 101-102, do a short analysis of the topic you've chosen. Bring this to class Thursday.
3. Write two blog responses (about 200 words each) to your classmates' proposals. In these responses, I would like for you to consider the following:
- scope: is the writer proposing something that he/she can feasibly write about in 4-6 pages?
- audience: as a potential audience for this essay, what do you want to know more about?
- thesis: look at the working hypothesis the writer has constructed. Do you have suggestions, or other points the writer might want to consider?
- General comments: any other general comments you might have to help the writer as he/she begins analyzing the media chosen.
