| Courses: | ENG101 First-Year Composition |
| Sections: | 2147 |
| Name: | Dr. James Sanders |
| Student Learning Outcomes: | Analyze specific rhetorical contexts, including cirumstance, purpose, topic, audience, and writer, as well as the writing's ethical, political, and clultural implicaitons. (I, III) |
| Method: | The assessed compentency: rhetorical dimensions of audience. Introductory lecture based on Aristote's notion of audience; Analysis of professional writer (Roger Rosenblatt) on how to evoke the notion of audience in the opening paragraph.
Students were instructed to use the Rosenblatt essay as a model, incorporating all elements used by Rosenblatt. Subsequent student essay was graded based on how closely the student followed the model essay. |
| Outcomes: | Very little change needed; students seem to understand both the theory of audience (Aristotle) and the praxis (Rosenblatt). I would like to stress more theory and have students evaluate a number of different writers for audience. |
