For Thursday, continue working on your Virginia Woolf assignment, the STP presentation, or the research paper.
On Friday, turn in your Virginia Woolf assignment. We don't have class this day, so you'll need to bring it to me.

Assignment for Wednesday, March 22
Make some progress on either the research paper or presentation, or both. No stress.
If you missed class, watch this TEDx talk by Brene Brown. While watching, pay attention to and reflect on the following: 1) her use of humor, especially self-deprecation, 2) the images and the ways they figuratively reinforce her points, 3) the way she brings together personal, argumentative, and analytical writing, 4) her insight (what is it?).

Assignment for Tuesday, March 14
Your assignment for Tuesday has two parts, which are detailed below. Also, come to class ready to continue working on the research paper.
Part 1: Select a passage at least ten lines in length (but not more than twenty) from chapter 5 or 6 of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own that stands out to you for its style (the way it is written) or substance (the point Woolf is making). Write a rhetorical analysis of that passage that explains why it stands out to you. This analysis should be six-to-eight sentences long.
Part 2: Then, just as Woolf chose her topic of women and fiction because she thought it was a poorly understood topic, consider an issue regarding any aspect of communication (social media, mass media, literature, social analysis, journalism, and so on) that is of interest to you. Write something about that aspect of communication in a way that imitates Woolf's style and structure in the passage you wrote about in Part 1, and it should be about as long that passage.
