April 2009 Listing

Due Today:

Ex 8: CEA Report

A report on what you learned during a specific CEA panel that you attended. (3-4 pages.)

Conference presentations at most conferences are considered academic publications, so be sure to cite the names of presenters and the titles of their papers correctly.

Update, 31 Mar: Let's discuss this in class on 2 Apr.

An informal, 1-2 page report on your progress. Include a bulleted list of what you plan to do next, and what you plan to produce (that is, what you are going to submit for my evaluation).

You are welcome to post it on your blog, but if you do, upload the URL to the slot on turnitin.com.

Presenter: Tiffany Brattina

On your blog, post a brief paragraph that demonstrates your knowledge of one term that you had to look up.

Start working on your Presubmission Report now.

Due Today:

Portfolio II

You might also want to look ahead at the additional requirements of Portfolio III, so that you can plan your time wisely.

Apply poststructuralism to any of our literary works.

More than simply a proposed thesis statement, the Presubmission Report asks you to provide a bibliography in MLA style, a full thesis paragraph, at least one supporting paragraph, and a preliminary conclusion.

Update:

In addition to uploading it to Turnitin.com, bring a printout to class, so that we can do some peer workshopping.

(At one point, this page included a message suggesting this essay was optional, but that was inaccurate -- I do want everyone to read this one.)

In Keesey, Ch 6

In Literary Theory (not the Eagleton essay in the Keesey anthology.)

Post a blog entry that states your intentions for your term project, and provides an update. (Comment on 2-4 peer entries before Thursday's class.)

Apply cultural-historical criticism to any of the works we have studied.

Assigned Text:

Greenblatt, ''Culture''

Even if your paper is not ready, plan to come to class anyway in order to participate in the peer review activities.

A polished document, 10-12 pages long. I will not mark grammar or MLA style issues, but I will give you feedback that will help make your ideas stronger.
