Two Seperate Prompts for each class

This weekend I will give seperate prompts for each class, so only read the one for your class.

ENC 1930/1101: You are to write a self evaluation of your first essay and the process that you went through in order to write the final draft. Are you satisfied with the final draft? If you had more time what would you change or work on? If you were to submit that essay to the individual you addressed it to, do you think they would pick you up for their team? Lastly, discuss what you learned from writing this essay and the class sessions as far as rhetorical techniques and strategies are concerned. (min 200 words)

ENC 1102: We are coming to the end of the first unit and soon we will head into a capstone project that will last the rest of the semester. From this project you will learn how to write an exploratory essay, how to design a an effective document design to rally support for a cause, present a persuasive and informative oral argument, and propose a business like solution to an issue that you feel needs to be addressed.

The issue you will choose should be one that you are interested or curious about, and likely to be or already are passionate about. The issue should however revolve around the topic of marginilization. As mentioned at the beginning of the semester the prevailing theme for the course is marginilization. As you will recall marginilization is the practice of excluding a social group from mainstream society who are not part of the “majority”, by placing that group on the “margins” of society.

Inevitably, we all belong to a marginilized group in one way or another. Some are given more attention than others, some are not even acknowledged at all. I want to give you all a taste of some of the past issues my classes have dealt with by providing you links to some of their work. This will jumpstart your brainstorming into a topic that you might want to work on for this project.

Your blog entry should discuss any of the issues that you read up on from other classes (you don't have to look into all of them), and it can also be a brainstorming activity on issues that you are aware of and might want to research more.

Precautionary Note: Some are much better than others; do not assume that because I am linking you to it here that the project got a good grade. Also, some of these are much older when this project was in the beginning phases of my expectations of a document design. Lastly, this is only one part of the document design, the second part is a flyer or brochure.
