1. Kathleen Yancey writes about ways we might use remediation for group projects and assignments. How might we use remediation to help students better synthesize information or articles reviewed during class time?
2. Does Lloyd Bitzer's description of the rhetorical situation complicate or make problematic your notion of writing across the curriculum? If so, how?
You could have an assignment that asks students to remediate the argument of a text. You could assign each individual to remediate one of the year's reading and present it to the rest of the class, and thus everyday the class gets to see (1) an example of a remediation project (2) a more entertaining summary of the text.
ReplyDeleteAs for question two, I don't think it complicates it, because it allows each discipline to articulate their own rhetorical and writing situations that are most prevalent in their field. I think it makes this idea more tangible--that different fields have different genre conventions and expectations and demands and so forth.
