ENG 1103: Check, Please! Model Assignment for Lesson Two

Posted on by janemlucas
https://webliteracy.pressbooks.com/front-matter/updated-resources-for-2021/

On Monday, in preparation for submitting your second Check, Please! worksheet, I reviewed the model lesson one assignment, which is included on your Lesson One worksheet and is also posted on Blackboard. The assignment model that follows is my version of the lesson two assignment, which includes Mike Caulfield’s new credential. As you work on Lesson Three for next week, be sure to include his new credential. Also review the notes in my September 5 blog post.

Check, Please! Lesson Two

In the second lesson of the Check, Please!, Starter Course, Mike Caulfield, author of the course and a research scientist at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, focuses on investigating a source, the second step in the SIFT approach, which he introduces in lesson one.

One of the most useful practices presented in lesson two is Caulfield’s follow-up to the Wikipedia strategy, which he outlined in the previous lesson. After he reviews that strategy, Caulfield explains how to use the control-f keyboard shortcut (command-f on a Mac). Typing control-f (or command-f) will open a small textbox in the upper right of the screen. Typing a word you are searching for will highlight the first appearance of the word in the text. Hitting return will highlight each subsequent appearance of the word.

Lesson two introduced me to fauxtire, a term for websites such as World News Daily Report, based in Tel Aviv, that present themselves as satirical but in fact serve primarily to perpetuate disinformation.

Perhaps the most memorable portion of lesson two was the side-by-side comparison of the websites for the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Pediatricians. Though at first glance the two appear comparable, using the Wikipedia strategy reveals their profound differences. While AAP is the premiere authority on children’s health and well-being, ACP was founded to protest the adoption of children by single-sex couples and is widely viewed as a single-issue hate organization.

ENG 1103: Completing Your Second “Check, Please!” Assignment

Posted on by janemlucas
https://webliteracy.pressbooks.com/
            front-matter/updated-resources-for-2021/.

As you work on your second Check, Please! assignment, refer to the sample lesson one assignment posted in Blackboard and on my blog. (See the entry published on August 28.) Also review the notes below.

  • When you first mention the course’s author, Mike Caulfield, include his credential. The fact that he is the author of the course is not a credential. His job title is. Anyone can create a course, but that doesn’t mean that the course has any worth. Including Caulfield’s job title, research scientist at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, tells readers that he is an expert in his field. Note that his title has changed since I wrote the sample assignment for lesson one. The credential that you should use is the one included above. In addition to listing Caulfield’s credential, you should mention that he is the author of the course.
  • On first reference refer to the author by first and last name. In subsequent references, refer to him by last name only.
  • If you present a list, do not follow a verb with a colon before the list. For example: The four steps in the SIFT approach are (1) “Stop,” (2) “Investigate,” (3) “Find better coverage,” and (4) “Trace claims, quotes, and media to the original context.”
  • If you introduce a list with a statement that ends with a noun, follow the noun with a colon. For example: Mike Caulfield, author of the course and Director of Blended and Networked Learning at Washington State University, introduces the four-step SIFT approach to determining the reliability of a source: (1) “Stop,” (2) “Investigate,” (3) “Find better coverage,” and (4) “Trace claims, quotes, and media to the original context.”
  • Note that in the lists above the comma precedes the closing quotation mark.
  • Also note that the Oxford, or serial, comma–the comma before and–should be used when you are following MLA style guidelines.
  • The first paragraph of your assignment is a summary, which is an objective, first-person overview written in present tense. Neither first- nor second-person singular or plural (I, me, we, us, you) should appear anywhere in a summary.
  • The paragraphs that follow your summary are commentary. That is where you should use first person because you presenting your comments on the lesson.
  • Do not use an ampersand (&) in place of the word and in formal writing.
  • Use the word if in reference to a condition. For example: If a source appears unreliable, investigate it.
  • Use whether in reference to a choice or alternative. For example: Using the SIFT method will enable you to determine whether a source is accurate and reliable.
  • Use like for comparison. For example: Wikipedia is like Britannica.
  • Use such as for inclusion. For example: Whenever possible, use publications of record, such The New York Times and The Guardian.
  • Include a complete MLA-style work cited entry. The heading should be the singular work, not works, because you are citing one source. Do not underline the heading, and be sure to handwrite or type the entry with a hanging indent. Remember that MLA-style works cited entries take the opposite form of paragraphs. The first line of a paragraph is indented five spaces or one-half inch and the lines that follow are flush left. In a works cited entry, the first line is flush left, and the lines that follow are indented five spaces or one-half inch.

Next Up

On Wednesday you will continue to work on your own literacy narratives. At the beginning of class, after I collect your second Check, Please! worksheets, I will return your handwritten drafts. You will have the class period to revise on your laptops and an additional week to continue revising before you post your revision to Blackboard and to your WordPress blog. The due date is Wednesday, September 13; the hard deadline is the morning of Friday, September 15.

ENG 1103: A Second Look at Sedaris and a First Glimpse of Keller

Posted on by janemlucas
Author David Sedaris in New York on August 3, 2018 / Robert Deutsch USA Today, https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2018/08/03/david-sedaris-hates-word-awesome-but-loves-sequined-culottes-calypso-bookmark/900667002/

Today in class we will return to David Sedaris‘s essay “Me Talk Pretty One,” and you and three of your classmates will collaborate on an exercise that asks you to examine–and subsequently address in writing–these elements of his literacy narrative:

  • scene and summary–you will examine how and where Sedaris shifts from one to the other
  • metaphors and similes
  • hyperbole
  • conclusion–specifically how the conclusion conveys the story’s significance without stating explicitly, this experience was significant because. . . .

Each of these elements plays an important role in narrative, none more so than scene, which is vital to a story’s life. Without it, a narrative falls flat. With summary, a writer compresses time to offer an overview of events. Through scene, a writer lets time unfold in front of the readers’ eyes, which is what readers prefer. They are drawn into a narrative when they can see for themselves what is happening.

Helen Keller, https://www.biography.com/activists/helen-keller

Along with continuing our study of Sedaris’s “Me Talk Pretty One Day,” we will begin to examine “The Day Language Came into My Life,” the first pages of Chapter Four of Helen Keller’s autobiography, The Story of My Life.

Together, these two essays by David Sedaris and Hellen Keller demonstrate two vastly different ways to present a literacy narrative. “Me Talk Pretty One Day” offers a quirky look at the challenges of learning French from a sarcastic, soul-crushing instructor. Keller’s story poignantly recounts learning to make meaning through the sign language of her teacher, Annie Sullivan, learning that certain finger positions mean “water” for those who cannot hear it, and for others, like her, who can neither see nor hear it.

And by the Way

Last week in class, I mentioned that David Sedaris’s sister Amy is an actress who is perhaps best known for her role as Deb in the movie Elf (2003). Here is a picture of her and her brother:

On Wednesday you will continue to work on your own literacy narratives. At the beginning of class, after I collect your second Check, Please! worksheets, I will return your handwritten drafts. You will have the class period to revise on your laptops and an additional week to continue revising before you post your revision to Blackboard and to your WordPress blog.

ENG 1103: Beginning Your Literacy Narrative

Posted on by janemlucas

Today is class you will begin planning and drafting your first essay assignment, a literacy narrative, which is an account of a learning experience involving reading, writing, or learning to speak a language.

Begin by asking yourself some of these questions: How have you come to think about yourself as a reader or writer? What were some of your most formative experiences as a reader or writer? What are some of the do’s and don’ts you have learned about writing? How has what you have learned about reading or writing enhanced your confidence and skill in that role? You don’t need to respond to all of those questions. Try picking one or two as a starting point, then move to bringing your experiences to life.

Your aim is to recreate your experience on the page and then to reflect on its significance. Your focus may be any one of the following:

  • a memory of a reading or writing assignment that you recall vividly  
  • someone who helped you learn
  • a writing-related school event that you found humorous or embarrassing
  • a particular type of writing that you found (or still find) especially difficult or challenging
  • a memento that represents an important moment in your development as a reader or writer

Detailed instructions are included in the assignment handout that you will receive in class today. An additional copy of the handout is posted on Blackboard in the Essay Assignments folder.

ENG 1103: Check, Please! and an Introduction to Literacy Narratives

Posted on by janemlucas
Mike Caulfield, author of Check, Please! and Director of Blended and Networked Learning at Washington State University. https://webliteracy.pressbooks.com/
            front-matter/updated-resources-for-2021/.

At the beginning of class on Wednesday, August 30, I will collect your worksheets for Lesson One of the Check, Please! starter course. My sample version of the assignment appears below, as well as on your worksheet and on Blackboard.

Sample Check, Please! Assignment

Check, Please! Lesson One Assignment

In the first lesson of the Check, Please! Starter Course, Mike Caulfield, author of the course and Director of Blended and Networked Learning at Washington State University, introduces the four-step SIFT approach to determining the reliability of a source: (1) “Stop,” (2) “Investigate,” (3) “Find better coverage,” and (4) “Trace claims, quotes, and media to the original context.”

One of the most useful practices presented in lesson one is what the author terms the “Wikipedia Trick.” Deleting everything that follows a website’s URL (including the slash), adding a space, typing “Wikipedia,” and hitting “enter” will yield the site’s Wikipedia page. The Wikipedia entry that appears at the top of the screen may indicate the source’s reliability or lack thereof.

The most memorable segment of lesson one is the short, riveting video “The Miseducation of Dylann Roof,” which begins with the narrator asking the question, “How does a child become a killer?” Produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center, it documents how algorithms can lead unskilled web searchers down paths of disinformation. In the worst cases, such as Roof’s, algorithms can lead searchers to the extremist propaganda of radical conspiracy theorists.

Work Cited

Caulfield, Mike. Check, Please! Starter Course, 2021, https://webliteracy.pressbooks.com/front-matter/updated-resources-for-2021/.

As a model for your own literacy narrative, today in class will examine “Me Talk Pretty One Day,” originally published in Esquire magazine and later as the title essay in David Sedaris’s 2000 essay collection.

To read more of Sedaris’s essays, see the list of links under the heading Writing and Radio on his website.

Next Up

As you begin work on your own literacy narrative on Wednesday, study Sedaris’s essay as a model, and consider how he uses the following:

  • Shifts from summary to scene and vice versa
  • Figurative language
  • Hyperbole
  • Vivid detail

Look for opportunities to use those elements in your own essay.

ENG 1103: Parallel Play and Two-Letter Words Beginning with “A”

Posted on by janemlucas

Parallel play increases your score through the points you earn by spelling more than one word in a single turn. In the first play of the hypothetical game pictured above, the first player or team would score sixteen points by spelling enact with the t on the center double word square. With the second turn, the other player or team could take advantage of the opportunity for parallel play. If the team knew that aa is a type of lava, they could earn twenty-four points with four words: whoa, he, on, and aa.

Aa is one of sixteen playable two-letter words beginning with a. Learning these two-letter words, as well as the others that follow in the alphabet, will enable you to see more options for play and increase the number of points you earn in a single turn.

  • aa: a type of stony, rough lava
  • ab: an abdominal muscle
  • ad: an advertisement
  • ae: one
  • ag: agriculture
  • ah: an exclamation
  • ai: a three-toed sloth
  • al: a type of East Indian tree
  • am: the first-person singular present form of to be
  • an: an indefinite article
  • ar: the letter r
  • as: similar to
  • at: in the position of
  • aw: an expression of sadness or protest
  • ay: a vote in the affirmative (also aye)

Important Note about Challenges

The game rules inside the Scrabble box top do not specify that a player or team that challenges a playable word will lose a turn, but David Bukszpan’s book Is That a Word? notes that the player or team does lose a turn. According to Bukszpan:

“[I]f a word is challenged and found not to be legal (called a phony in Scrabble parlance), the player that set it down loses a turn. Conversely, if a challenged word is found to be playable, the challenger loses his turn” (19).
