Today, we began by intensively reviewing Rachel Allen's paper over the Orbit gum commercials. Professor McArdle then explained to us that any time we use information that is not our own, we must have a works cited page in order to avoid plagiarism. We then moved on to William Bohn's paper on the song "Feel Good, Inc." by the Gorillaz. We then discussed how they were an animated band. After a brief confusion as to whose paper was next, Collin Warner's paper on a song by Lifehouse got intesively reviewed by those who had it.

Today, we signed up for times for our conferences next week. We discussed the art of argument, and to do so, we watched "Monty Python - Argument Clinic." We then discussed researching to back up our arguments. Professor McArdle then informed us that we will use MLA format to cite our sources because APA is for cheaters. We then discussed our multimodal assignments. We were then shown a youtube video from a former student's "This I Believe" essay and discussed the visual elements she used. Professer McArdle then showed us how to make a weebly website that we have the option of using for our multimodal project.

Dear Emily Johnston,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting your log before mine. It helped me remember what we did in class, because I sure as hell didn't remember. You're a life saver... unintentional life saver, but my point is still valid.
Kisses!
