So I forgot the weekend prompt relating to the whaling paper. Whoops!
In its place though, I'd like to talk a bit about monday's class topics. We spent the majority of the time analyzing different paper rubrics in pairs, and trying to decide which educational ideology they subscribed to most. It didn't come as a huge surprise that every one was a medley of at least two. It's like with the current traditionalist model, you can't really escape it. A teacher needs to enforce some rules of syntax and grammar or a paper could be incoherent and still be technically okay according to the rubric.
So that was pretty enjoyable, and I came out deciding that I enjoyed the rubric emphasizing rhetorical awareness of audience, author, culture, and general context of a work--all things that form the rhetorician's playground.
