Revised Essay 1 or 2, and Class Monday

Check out the two earlier posts for information on the conference schedule, groups & selections for the Rhetorical Analysis of a Publication Venue assignment.

For class Monday, turn in the revised version of Essay 1 or 2. Send this essay as an attachment to the ENG4017 email. Your essay should include a title that suggests, sets up or resonates with the focus of your essay. You should also include the name of the venue where you might consider sending this essay and a short indication of how it "fits" with the audience for that publication. This information will help me in providing feedback for your essay. I will be assessing both how well your essay fits the criteria for the assignment (the "I" essay assignment) and your perspective on where your writing fits within the world of publication.

In class, we will talk about the reflective writing you will post on the first page of your portfolio. This assignment is meant to set you up to think about who you are as a writer, your strengths, weaknesses & "fit" with respect to CNF, and your plans for your writing future. The assignment will ask you to use work for this class - your journal, your drafts, your blog & your response to assigned readings - as evidence for the claims in your essay.

Blog 21: describe the audience you envision for your work. List some journals that have an audience interested in your work? How does your work "fit"?
