20 May WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES SEDARIS’S WRITING HUMOROUS?
From our Murray text read Chapter 4
From our DiYanni text read Judy Brady’s 1972 essay, “I Want a Wife†(p65); Joan Didion’s 1961 essay, “On Self-Respect†(p83); and David Sedaris’s 2000 essay, “Me Talk Pretty One Day†(p214.)
ou will need to respond in each week’s Discussion Thread with at least two posts: A “Prompt Response” and a “Peer Response.”
The Prompt Response must be posted by the end of the day Friday each week, and the Peer Response must be posted before noon the following Monday each week. Additional postings are welcomed and encouraged.
The minimum word count for your Prompt Response is 120 words. The minimum word count for your Peer Response is 70 words. Points will be lost for postings that do not meet the word count requirements.
Your Prompt Response post must be full-bodied and should include textual evidence (references to the readings as support for what you are saying.) When you reference one of our texts simply cite it by putting the author and page number in parentheses afterword. Points will be lost for postings that do not meet these expectations.
Your Peer Response post must reflect your peer’s point (showing that you understand what s/he is saying) and either agree or disagree, with evidence and/or explanation to support your perspective. Points will be lost for postings that do not meet these expectations.
Readings from DiYanni Text
Prompt Response:After reading the essays for this week (see the “Week 3 Assignments” document in Doc Sharing), respond to the following questions:
1. What do you think makes Sedaris’s writing humorous?
2. What is Didion’s thesis?
3. Is Brady ‘missing something’?
Feel free to redirect your responses to hit on something specific from an essay that you may want to discuss. Remember to consider and comment on not only what the author says, but how they effectively or ineffectively present it.
Remember that there are word count and deadline expectations.
Peer Response: In your peer posting reflect the assertions and agree/counter with your own perspectives (including support evidence.)
Remember that there are word count and deadline expectations.
