About Short Assignments
You’ll complete a handful of short assignments over the semester, mainly intended as preparation for our major projects. These may range from exploration to analysis, but they will almost always ask you to describe and discuss specific aspects of some public genre, applying some of our theoretical concepts to understanding its composition more fully. For at least one assignment, you’ll locate and edit a published text, walking us through your editing process. Since you’ll be posting these assignments to your blog, you should treat them as early and frequent opportunities to hone your writing skills for a more public audience.
