I have a family emergency and have to cancel our face to face class today. No assignment for the week. If you haven't already, develop those notes for chaps 1 and 2, to p 21. We'll meet as scheduled next Tue 6 Sep to get started with chapters 1 and 2, and analyzing the rhetorical situation.

for Tue 30 Aug 6 Sep

Advice: Get some practice in. Take notes on these chapters for your use. Go to your wiki name page, get into the edit mode, then create a new wiki page by adding a page title. Call it NotesChap1And2 - followed by your 3 initials. NotesChap1And2MCM, for instance. When you save, the title will be an open link. Click it, and it should go to a text editing space Work with what you're reading in Longaker. Expect to refine these notes on our next meeting. Use headings to organize things. Add examples and cases, and problematic cases. Add links. Embed content images. ... Refer to GettingStarted for formatting and embedding images. For advice, refer to AndByNotesIMean

Read Longaker, Chap 1 and 2, to p 21.
In class - Rhetoric, the textualized situation, and WhatMakesThisRhetorical?

Tips and Suggestions

The Overwrite warning. If you save a page, then use the back button rather than double-clicking to get back to editing, you might get an Overwrite warning in red. That only means the wiki is confused. Select all the text you're editing, copy it, then Cancel the save. After you save, see if the version is complete. It usually is. But if not, double-click to edit the page, select everything, then paste the version you have on the clipboard into the wiki and save.
