Kantz Reflective Assignment

Hopefully after reading Kantz, you no longer feel like this about research!

Well kiddos, once you we get through Kantz this week, we're done with our readings for the semester. How does THAT feel?

This is a good time to stop and pause for reflection. While reading Kantz (or, after, if you've already gotten through it) I want you to think about your own writing and research process and write a one page reflection on it. Use Kantz as a context.

If you need a little more direction, here's a "prompt" :

Write about your experiences with the stage assignments using Kantz as your context. Are YOU writing/reading/researching rhetorically? Use textual evidence and personal examples to support your claim.

Your reflection will be a minimum of one page, double spaced, typed.

Due:

Friday March 8th (yay! day before spring break!)

Adding in:

Just in case you need some more direction! Here's some more explanation; take it if you need it, leave if you don't ;)

For Friday you're to write a personal reflection on your research process. Are you encountering similar problems to Shirley? How does your research process relate to Kantz's theories of rhetorical reading and developing a claim? You'll write about your own experiences, but use Kantz as context. For example, perhaps you're having trouble finding those "gaps" Kantz talks about in your sources. Explain what that is, what you're doing, and the difficulty you're encountering. That's just one way to tackle it. It's a pretty open ended assignment. Basically -- I just want to see you relating your experiences to Kantz's theories and reflecting on them.
