The purpose of this task is twofold. First, you will practice your presentation skills by teaching the class about a social media platform using a reading on rhetoric and\/or social media. Ya\u2019ll are the teachers for this presentation. Second, you will practice using an app or social media platform you\u2019ve never used before to help you present your work. Why are you doing this you might wonder? Well, it ain\u2019t because I\u2019m lazy. By teaching the class you will be doing a number of things that\u2019ll help you in the future. You\u2019ll be improving your oral presentaton skills, your critical thinking skills, and your organization skills. You\u2019ll also be upping your app or social media savvy by learning the affordances and constraints of a new software.<\/p>\n

Here is what you are supposed to do:<\/p>\n

a. Find a social media platform you\u2019ve never heard of or used before, play with it, critique it, apply concepts from previous classes, and at least two concepts from the reading of the day (which you will select) to your analysis.<\/p>\n

b. Find an article focused on rhetoric and\/or communication and digital technologies you\u2019d like to teach the class about. Your article should be substantial (at least 1250 words). You can use Hoover library to locate a peer reviewed article or a chapter from a book. Or you can find an article from The Atlantic, The New York Times, Harlot: A Revealing Look at the Arts of Persuasion, TedTalks, Salon, Wired, Mother Jones, or The Chronicle of Higher Ed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

c. Explain what it\u2019s good for and what it\u2019s bad for. Think about its affordances and constraints.<\/p>\n

d. Have a smart activity for us to perform using the platform that capitalizes on a strength.<\/p>\n

You have to meet with me the Monday or Wednesday prior to the presentation with an outline.<\/p>\n

Lesson Plan<\/a><\/p>\n

Lesson plan assessment<\/em><\/p>\n

A \u2013 your plan is critical and thoughtful. Follows directions and meets requirements. If called for, it cites and\/or summarizes the text in order to support points, and illustrates a clear grasp of the topic at hand. No grammar, punctuation, or spelling problems unless done for effect. Your plan makes sense and is easy to follow\/understandable.<\/p>\n

B \u2013 your plan lacks some level of critical engagement. If called for, it cites and\/or summarizes the text to some degree, but a clear grasp of the topic is not fully illustrated and\/or one of the requirments is not performed correctly. May have grammar, punctuation, or spelling problems. Your plan is not as easy to follow as an \u201cA.\u201d<\/p>\n

C \u2013 your plan lacks critical engagement with text, and uses little to no support. Illustrates little understanding of the text, the initial response, and\/or one or more of the requirments is not met. Many grammar, punctuation, or spelling problems. Your plan is confusing or feels incomplete.<\/p>\n

D \u2013 your plan indicates some level of awareness of topic at hand, but very minimally and\/or one or more of the requirments is not met. Many grammar, punctuation, or spelling problems.<\/p>\n

F \u2013 your plan indicates zero level of awareness of topic at hand and\/or one or more of the requirments is not met. Your plan makes me ask a question: Huh?<\/p>\n
