Focus for presentation:

Sequence 7: "This sequence offers you opportunities to work with selections that are striking both for what they have to say, and for the ways they use writing. In each case the writer is experiementing, pushing against or stepping outside of conventional ways of writing and thinking."

For your assignments in both sections, answer the questions thorougly, using quotes or specific examples when possible:

• What is the author saying that is unconventional, or striking?
• How is their style or form of writing experiemental or unconventional? (What is the style or format they use, and how is it different from the norm?)
• Was it convincing? Was it effective?

Sequence 8: "...think about familiar settings or experiences through the work of writers who have had a significant effect on contemporary thought....draw some conclusions about the potential and consequences of this kind of intellectual apprenticeship."

• What is the familiar setting (topic)?
• What is the significant effect on contemporary thought?
• What are the pros and cons of being an expert in the field? (What is the field?)
