DJP #7
On Thursday we talked about your concepts, asking yourself questions that would help you to research and hone in on your concept, and strategies for drafting your essays. This digital journal builds upon that list of goals. It is meant to push your drafting forward.
On Thursday I gave you each a copy of a chapter of the writing guide They Say, I Say, titled “So what, who cares?” You will need to refer to that for this DJP, as well as chapters 4 and 16 of your SM Guide.
Your calendar asks you to refer to pages 151-155 of SM Guide to help you to draft. Use it. On page 153, you will find a box with a title highlighted in blue: “What makes the concept interesting to me and my readers?” In it, you will see that the box is divided into 3 divisions of questions to help you to draft. I want you to choose 1 question from each of those sections. You will answer them in your DJP entry. Notice that the 2nd section is about audience. Use the “So what, who cares?” chapter to answer those questions. Use one of the sentence strategies (it might be the one you use in your draft, it might be an experiment).
DJP #7
In your digital journal post, please respond to a single question from each section of the box on page 153. That should be 3 questions in total, one on your concept, one considering your audience, and that helps you to explain why this writing matters.
In your post, use 1 of the sentence strategies from the “So what, who cares?” chapter. Please bold it in your post.
Because of the nature of your task, you ought to respond with at least 3 full paragraphs.
This DJP is due by 12:20 on Tuesday, October 18. Happy drafting!!!
