GET A PROFESSIONAL PAPER DONE BY AN EXPERT
1. Copy a short passage (3–5 sentences long) from our readings for the week, then add quotation marks and an in-text citation. Choose a passage that you find meaningful, interesting, or confusing; for example, a concept that could help with your current project, or a claim that challenges your beliefs, or an idea that contributes to your broader understanding of writing and research. Try to find a passage that has not already been posted.2. Select a response type from the three following options and include its two-letter code in your entry:Question (QU): Raise a question that strives to complicate or open up for further investigation something the authors say. Pose it as a question, using a question mark, to invite responses from your peers.Connection (CX): Make a direct connection between the passage and another assigned reading, class concept, or personal memory, and provide enough detail that the connection is clear to others. You can also connect to an outside source, but provide a hyperlink (if possible) so your classmates can view it for themselves.Breakdown (BD): Breakdowns offer an interpretation of the selection, attempting to decipher or make meaning of the passage. Breakdowns may also include definitions of new or unfamiliar vocabulary used in the passage.3. Write your response to the cited passage, adhering to the response type you selected above. Your response to the passage should be 4–6 sentences long, thoughtfully developed, reasonably focused, and carefully proofread. The point is to be an active reader, to approach course texts with genuine curiosity and attention, and to contribute entries that engage your peers in a collaborative effort to make sense of new ideasDISCUSSION POST 1Write a brief “letter” to your classmates telling them a little about your writing process. Describe how you usually feel when you share work with others and receive feedback. Using key concepts and your takeaways from this learning session, explain how you would like them to approach and respond to your writing throughout this course.DISCUSSION POST 2In Activity #1: Warmup Writing, you reflected on an ongoing debate or disagreement you’ve had with a family member or friend that never seems to get resolved, but rather reverts back to the same arguments each time it comes up. Could you use the stases to better understand this situation—or potentially get unstuck and and make progress towards resolving it? How so?Note: You don’t need to disclose specifics about the disagreement (such as the topic, your position, or the identities and positions of the people involved) if you would prefer not to share them with your peers and instructor in this Discussion. You can instead focus on the particular stasis or stases that are most relevant to your undisclosed situation and what steps you could take, generally speaking, towards resolution.DISCUSSION POST 3Introducing Students to Disciplinary Genes.
