Literacy Narrative Analysis
Description: Now that you’ve completed the outside readings (Alexie & Baca) and assigned sections in Norton on Rhetorical Situations/Literacy Narratives, select two (2) of the narratives to analyze. In 4-6 paragraphs, respond via a new thread to your narratives of choice, analyzing the rhetorical situations using the terminology in the textbook and covered in class. Conclude with an explanation of why these essays resonated with you and include a memorable quote from one, explaining its significance to the work and to you.
Poetic Analysis
Description: Now that you’ve read “Poetry and Politics” from the Poetry Society of America Conference (2000) and the selected excerpts from Erica Hunt’s A Local History, please respond with 2-3 paragraphs analyzing the poetics of a selected Hunt poem that resonates with you, and responds to some of the points discussed at the conference. Be sure to use literary terminology from both topic and composition courses, and explain the significance of your connection to this work. The analysis should speak to both form and content, as well identify some of the theories Hunt critiques in her work. Use quotations from the text to support your analysis.
