We spent class today applying the rhetorical situation key terms to Allie Brosh’s “Adventures in Depression.” On Thursday we’ll spend a little time thinking about how the second part shifts our understanding.

We’ll also spend a chunk of class thinking about Randy Olson’s ABT thesis template and look at an example of a deductive essay that we can transform into an inductive one by rearranging the structure.

Your second sketch assignment is due on Sunday 9/3 — for this one you’ll need to use analog tools to draw your sketch because you’ll be incorporating a physical object into the sketch. It’s an exercise in simple visual storytelling and lateral thinking, so have some fun with it. Please make sure to give your sketch a funny and/or clever title.

Also, you should be working on the pre-writing exercise for your literacy narrative, which will be due in week 3. You do not need to publish the pre-writing work but I’d recommend you try to get through that exercise before class on Wednesday so that you leave yourself time to work through the essay itself by next week.
