Please disregard the reading assignment that is listed on the
schedule. As I mentioned in class, we will be reading the pieces on the
local food movement instead: Stephen Budiansky's "Math Lessons for
Locavores," (476) and Kerry Trueman's response, "The Myth of the Rabid
Locavore," (479). You also have a reading response due by the beginning
of class as a dropbox submission.
You have
the option of writing about either one of these pieces, or you can
write about both, focusing on a few of the areas we discussed at the
beginning of class--message, purpose, tone, evidence, reasoning,
structure, the writer's motivation, genre, focus/clarity, etc. We will
discuss the points each writer makes in preparation for the next paper.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
