Threshold Concepts
For this post, you are going to create a threshold concept similar to what you read throughout the book, Naming What We Know.
Please follow *all* of these guidelines:
(1) Use the lens of “naming what you know.”
(2) Create an actual threshold concept, this literally means beginning the post with a title such as “Reflection is Critical for a Writer’s Development.”
(3) Create a concept that you believe is important to know, understand, and master within the field of composition studies. This furthers our thinking from where we began the course (in one of the opening posts, you defined what composition studies is/means).
(4) Use at least 3 of the readings (you can include this book, of course, but it doesn’t have to be one of them) from the course to ground and evidence your concept.
(5) Be reflective, think about what we’ve been reading and discussing for the last six weeks. Don’t be afraid to “theorize” a bit (my philosophers might really like that! :-).
(6) Be critical, what do you believe is important in composition studies and why? That’s a good place to start.
(7) Be creative, composing/composition isn’t just about being critical and that’s it, there is an element of creativity that lies within the threads of this field.
Good luck! I look forward to seeing what you can come up with!
