Everyone,

your second listening assignment is due this Friday before midnight. I already looked and your first submission. You guys did a great job. Some of you, though, need to brush up a little more your understanding of some of the concepts we are introducing in class, but overall you did all well. Take into account that for each listening report I am changing one or two questions to reflect some of the contents we are discussing in class.

Hi folks,
I just updated the link to The Awakening that was broken.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

Hi everybody,

This is to let you know that I would like you to read the first 10 chapters of the novel The Awakening. We will workshop and discuss it in class in two weeks.
Cheers,
José A.

Hi guys,
the book we are going to read this semester is already posted on the materials page. Note that this book is available online for free.

We will finish presentations next class. You will have 5 minutes to give your presentation. Also get a  hand of the material I left at the copy shop.

Hello guys,
post the link to the material you will use at your presentation on Monday. To post on the blog, click on ¨No comments¨ below. Make sure you make the post here on the Home page of the blog. You will have around 5 minutes to present. This is the instruction: Choose a text (documentary, news story, ad, news show etc...) and do a multimodal analysis identifying the rhetorical situation of the text. Identify the rhetorical strategies in the text, too. 
Have a great weekend!
