Homework for January 12

Thinking about our discussion of Bruffee's essay in class on Wednesday, write a paragraph in which you describe the strategies that Bruffee uses to make his essay persuasive. You should begin your paragraph with a one-sentence summary of Bruffee's point.

Then, read this essay by Rachel Toor and write a similar paragraph. What is Toor's main point, and what strategies does she use to help make that point as convincingly as possible?

These paragraphs may be hand-written.
