What We Did in Class Today
Each class was given an assignment that can be found on a blog post at my ERWC blog.
Also, click on the link to the PowerPoint on Colons to to see it there: SoW: Colons
The assignment is worth 50 points and a scoring guide can be found for it here: Colon Usage Assignment Scoring Guide
If you did not finish the assignment in class, please do so tonight!
Thursday and Friday
Beginning on Thursday, you will work on your in-class Rhetorics for situational irony. In order to be prepared, as a bit of homework, Wednesday evening please read the very short story "The Gift of the Magi."
Definition of situational irony
irony involving a situation in which actions have an effect that is opposite from what was intended, so that the outcome is contrary to what was expected.
Steps to complete your homework for Wednesday night
First, read the story.
Second, print the story out to bring to class: Google Doc Version
- You can re-size it to make printing more economical
- Try to get it down to two pages
- Print two-to-a-page, maybe?
Third, come to class prepared to connect this story with the concept of "situational irony."
