Note: Please Please read and do this assignments as instructed. I’ve been getting bad scores on this because either what was written didn’t match the reading or the comments weren’t interesting at all! They need to be very specific and very interesting. I will tip if done well
Week 3 Textual Analysis – Group 2
Unspeakable Conventionality: The Perversity of the Kindle Mark McGurl (Attached)
I’ve attached this pdf. Part of this assignment is to read it and do below.
You must make one 300-600 word post to the Textual Analysis discussion board on Canvas. Your posts should discuss a specific moment in the text–focusing on less than a page rather than the text as a whole and make an argument or unique observation of your choice. There should be very little space given to summary of the text or formal introductions and conclusions. Assume that we have all done the reading, and use your word-count efficiently.
As always, we should strive to make our posts interesting. I will define interesting as both surprising and specific. In other words, a good textual analysis post makes an argument that’s unexpected in some way–resisting the obvious conclusions and going beyond what’s discussed in the week’s lecture video–and makes that argument by focusing on the concrete specifics of the text. You should avoid vagueness and generalization as much as possible.
Week 3 Synthesis – Group 2
Unspeakable Conventionality: The Perversity of the Kindle Mark McGurl (Attached)
I’ve attached this pdf. Part of this assignment is to read it and do below.
Each week, you must make one 300-600 word post to the Synthesis discussion board on Canvas. In the Synthesis post, you should consider the themes of the course and connections between the books we’ve studied as well as concepts from your other business courses or real-world events. Your post should be grounded in something specific from the week’s reading, but the idea is to make connections and think about the big ideas of the course.
Just as in the textual analysis, your synthesis post should be surprising and specific. Don’t allow generalizations or vague argumentation to infect your writing just because your scope is expanding beyond the week’s reading. Be sure to limit the scope of your argument as much as possible. Choose one specific idea and develop it concretely.
