This blog post is designed to get you thinking about your choice of source for your primary source analysis.
COMPLETING THE ASSIGNMENT
1) Find two possible primary sources for your PSA, and post them to your blog.
Directions for how to embed pictures or videos are included in the blog set-up instructions on Carmen, but, if you have any problems, drop me a line and I will walk you through it.
If you cannot embed your source for whatever reason, simply link to it.
2) Write a short paragraph (5-6 sentences) about each source that describes what you find strange, interesting or revealing about it, and why you are thinking about using it for your PSA. Since you have two sources, you will obviously be writing two paragraphs in total.
DUE DATE: 10 April (so that I will have time to respond to them before you do the Method worksheet)
COMMENTING ON THE ASSIGNMENT
For this prompt, you will be required to comment on specific blogs, so that everyone has the same amount of feedback. If you look at the list of blogs to the right, you are required to comment on the three people below you. If you are at the bottom of the list and do not have three people below you, you will simply wrap around to the top. For example, Young-Hwa will comment on Yuwen, Alexandra and Alyssa's blogs.
In commenting on these blogs, you will evaluate the two primary sources in light of the criteria which we went over in Wednesday's class (i.e. Is each source manageable in scope? Does it have a clear rhetorical agenda? Do you agree that it is strange, interesting, revealing? etc.). If you wish, you may suggest which source you feel will be better, although the person is obviously not obligated to take those suggestions into account.
DUE DATE: 11 April (so that people will have time to use your feedback)
