Week 3 Blog Post

Initial student post due Monday, January 28th:

Go to: http://www.quora.com/Life-Advice/How-do-I-get-over-my-bad-habit-of-procrastinating#

Read the initial questions, and then the response (should be the first after the questions) about Albert and Rex, and answer the following questions.

1. What makes this source credible? (Number of votes, the epithet behind his name, what he says seems true, you have read enough about this subject to understand the truth of his words?)
2. In his post, what do you agree with? What do you disagree with?
3. Who is this person's audience? (is it just the person asking for help, or a broader group of people? Is it you? Is it me?)
4. What is this writer's purpose (or, what does the writer hope to accomplish by his response to the initial post?)?
5. Does his post, ultimately, persuade you? Why?

If you have the time to post early, then please feel free. If you are stuck on what to write, look at the writing of your classmates.

Weekly Posts

Each week, starting week 2, I will post a 21st century composition, and you will analyze and comment on that composition. Each student will also comment on at least three posts by other classmates. Opinions are welcome, but are to be respectful and respected by all classmates, especially where language is concerned. Any opinion presented as fact must have citations to support it. Conversations may continue into the classroom, where time permits.
