Sep 10 — Syllabus Policies
Attendance
You should attend every class, and the professor will record attendance in Canvas. If
you’re unable to make it, do these things to stay in-tune with class activities:
•
Check the Agenda Slides to see what we did and what the homework is
•
Reach out to colleagues to learn what was discussed
•
Check Canvas for any upcoming deadlines
•
Complete your homework (including blog post) so you don’t fall behind
Please note it is not necessary to contact your instructor in cases of absence.
However, in cases of extended absence, keeping your instructor informed can help
ease frustrations.
Technology
T
here is the right time and place
for using your devices
. For example, if the professor is
lecturing, you should not have your phone out for a long amount of time. Answering an
important text message should be acceptable, but scrolling for an extended time is
disrespectful. Although if we are doing individual work and that work is completed with
time to spare you should be allowed to do whatever you please on your phone until
that time is up. This policy benefi ts the professor and students by giving both these
individuals respect.
Grading
An assignment should be graded based on the quality and effectiveness of the writing,
and not syntax or grammar errors.
During the semester, assignments will be given
notice about whether or not it was effective, as well as feedback. No number/letter
grades
will be used
until the end of the semester.
If you revise a major assignment, turn
in the revision via Canvas, then schedule an appointment to meet with the instructor to
discuss the revision.
Final grades will be based on a discussion about how a student
believes they performed during the semester.
Late Work
Assignments will not be considered late unless turned in after being graded by Prof.
Friend. If the assignment is turned in late/missing, it shall be labeled as a temporary
zero. However, you can update that score by completing/amending the assignment,
uploading it to Canvas, and discussing your revisions with the instructor during offi ce
hours.

Sep 12—Rhetorical Reading
Group 1 (Joe Switek, Lana Stamato, Morgan Napolitano,
Dariela Alvarado)
What is “rhetorical reading”?
Rhetorical reading is understanding how the author wants to make you feel, through
persuasion or manipulation in the text.
When a reader reads a text written by an author, where does the
meaning come from?
The meaning comes from whatever interpretation the reader got from the text or the
author. The reader may interpret it in however they felt that they understood it or
whatever the connection was.
Who is responsible for the information/knowledge contained within
a text?
The author is heavily responsible for what appears in a text, but further than that,
people in the author's life that have influenced how they interpret things. Different
authors will write things in different contexts because they have been influenced by
different people and their different lives.
Defi ne “mushfaking”
Mushfaking is when you’re not fully “fluent”
or "literate"
in a discourse, yet you try to
make it seem like you
understand it.

realizing it.

When a reader reads a text written by an author, where does the
meaning come from?
The meaning comes from the authors point of view. The author tells us what they are
thinking and their opinions.
Who is responsible for the information/knowledge contained within
a text?
The author and the people that discovered that information/knowledge. Without both
people involved the reader wouldn't have somewhere to get that information and
knowledge.

you have because the real things that you need are not available.

this table:
How, when, and where do people gain literacies?
Through life people gain literacies and specifi c places give the opportunity to gain
them. Some people are able to gain a literacy by growing up around that certain thing
and gaining knowledge about it as they grow up. Others fi nd things they're interested
in and work hard to be literate in that thing.

Group 4 (Marshall Clancy, Gabby Quinones )
What is “rhetorical reading”?
Rhetorical reading is reading with a deeper understanding and knowledge of what the
author means by the text, not just what the author is saying.
When a reader reads a text written by an author, where does the
meaning come from?
When a reader reads a text, the meaning comes from the author's opinions and
background. You can fi nd the deeper meaning behind text through rhetorical reading.
Who is responsible for the information/knowledge contained within
a text?
The author and the reader are both responsible for the information contained within
text. The reader can interpret text in a different way than what the author intended.
Because the reader may have a different view of the text than the author, it opens up a
new opportunity to learn from different perspectives.

that may surround the topic.

Fluency
To have fluency, you need literacy (a basic understanding or awareness of the subject)
Higher level of understanding. People fluent in the thing can still make mistakes.

Teach someone well enough to make them literate. Can shift
the method of teaching because of a more complex understanding of the topic
Literate = know it; fluent = understand the nuances
Nov 14—Identity & Authority
Group 1 [Ashley R., Aaliyah W., Kal J., Ramona S. ]
How do authors build and enact authority while writing?
Authors build authority through their portrayal of their own previous experiences and
how open they are to other people’s experiences and perspectives. They enact this
within the structure of their writing and argument. Within their structure authority is
written out as open and the flaws are explored more.
How does identity influence writing and reading?
Identity influences writing and reading because where you come form and the
community you grow up in can have an impact on your thoughts and views of things.
You notice things of yourself and can be able to express those things, like how other
people act, what happens in day to day life, how you are when it comes to your life,
etc. you are able to write accurate ideas of people based on how you are as a person.
Not only are you connecting with yourself, it allows other people to connect with you.
This also goes along with reading, when you read you feel more in tune with the
characters in the stories, their emotions, their views, their thoughts and so on.
Group 2 [Briana Diaz, Sofi a Lucianin, Leah Guevara, Gabriella
Remotti ]
How do authors build and enact authority while writing?
Authors can build and enact authority while writing with proper language and credible
sources to allow the readers to have more trust in their words. This way they'll believe
and possibly even agree with the writers argument.
How does identity influence writing and reading?
Identity influences writing and reading because your own thoughts and opinions go
into it. Your own personal writing process effects the writing. Language identity is also
a huge part of reading and writing because it shows who you are. Many think the form
of language used when writing can make someone seem proper or improper, but it can
also show comfortability between the writer and their audience while hitting all the
marks needed in their work.
Group 3 [Lana, Joe, Marshall, Freddemi]
How do authors build and enact authority while writing?
Authors build and enact authority while writing by showing that they have knowledge,
fi rst-hand experience, and credibility. They have educational and professional
experience sometimes degrees. An author with authority will provide evidence and
sources.
How does identity influence writing and reading?
Identity influences the way a reader will interpret and understand writing. In writing,
identity influences the way you will present yourself in your writing. Identity affects the
way writing is perceived both in writing and reading.
Group 4 [Dariela, Morgan, Nyomi]
How do authors build and enact authority while writing?
When you are knowledgable on a topic, you can establish your authority confi dently in
your writing. Ways that authority can be portrayed it by being able to provide examples
in your writing and rather than being explicit and directly defi ning what things are, you
can do it implicitly. By providing an example, if done correctly it completes the same
job as implementing a direct defi nition would've been.
How does identity influence writing and reading?
Identity has influence on writing since even when a writer isn't trying to portray
themselves, you can still see parts of someone's identity in their writing. By their choice
of words, the way they express their sentences, etc you can have an idea of the person
like their intellect level, opinions, etc
