The final project\nrequires you to take the research you have been doing on how\/why a group\nwrites, and present it in three different formats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All three versions\nneed to communicate your original ideas and learning about your topic, and all\nthree versions should use appropriate rhetorical appeals to convince your\ntarget audience that you are communicating something new, original, and\nimportant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A complete rough\ndraft\/child’s draft of the formal academic or informal version must be brought\nto class for peer review on Tuesday, December 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final polished\ndrafts of the formal academic version and the informal version must be turned\nin no later than 1110 hrs on Tuesday, December 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be prepared to\npresent your multimodal version in class during our final exam period on\nTuesday, December 18, 7:00 am to 9:00 am. If you are planning a presentation\nwith an audio component, a five-minute presentation is appropriate. There is no\nword-count or other constraint on your multimodal presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This\nversion must include all of the following sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Introduction<\/strong>: This section should provide all\nrelevant background material. It should explain your topic, and information\nthat is generally known by all people familiar with your topic. End your\nintroduction with a general statement about what you plan to argue about your\ntopic (this should be a single sentence, but it should be something that we can\nargue about).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Methods & Results<\/strong>: Describe the method you\nused to gather your data. Who (if anyone) did you talk to? What questions did\nyou ask? Where did you find your data? How many samples did you look at?\nBriefly summarize your data by objectively describing trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discussion<\/strong>: Present three specific arguments\nthat can be used to support the general statement you made in your\nintroduction. Each specific argument should have an assertion, supporting\nevidence, and analysis (See 11\/15, Interlude, 11\/20, Part 2, and 11\/27, Part 3\nfor more information about these sections and how they fit together).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion<\/strong>: Describe the implications of your\nresearch. How does your research and your arguments change the way we think\nabout the topic? In what way are you adding to our general understanding that\nyou described in your introduction? Then, describe the applications of your\nresearch. Here, describe either real-world applications of your findings (for\nexample, should we change the way we train people to write in specific\ndisciplines?), or<\/strong> describe questions that\nyou still have about your topic that were not answered by your research and\ncould be future avenues of inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nformal academic paper must be a minimum of 1250 words, not including\nreferences. It must be in MLA style, have a title, use proper in-text\ncitations, and have a list of works cited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This\nversion can be in any genre you would like to use (for example, some students\nasked if they could write a story) to communicate what is important to the\naudience you choose. You will need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may\nuse any form of media you would like for this version EXCEPT<\/strong> for PowerPoint\/Google Slides\/Prezi, or the equivalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your\nmultimodal presentation must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Points will be given for both process and product: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall Writing Process (5 points): <\/p>\n\n\n\n Versions (5 points per version):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Product (5 points per version): <\/p>\n\n\n\n Overview The final project requires you to take the research you have been doing on how\/why a group writes, and present it in three different […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":567,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-676","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-ksp-695"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P8th0v-aU","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=676"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":759,"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/676\/revisions\/759"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/torrencia.org\/MSET\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Informal\nVersion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
