Happy Friday, all! Don't forget to browse the AdViews archive (http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/adviews/) over the weekend and find an ad that appeals to you and you might like to write about in Essay 1. If you want to get started brainstorming and writing down ideas, go ahead and get started! Otherwise, I'll expect to see your first draft (at least one page!) submitted on Canvas by class time on Wednesday.
In class today we watched the clip of Jon Stewart's appearance on "Crossfire" and practiced the Notice and Focus + Ranking heuristic. Over the weekend, you should read the section on The Method in Writing Analytically (pgs. 26-35), where you'll learn to work with patterns of repetition and contrast and what to do with your observations.
After reading this section of the text, apply the Notice and Focus + Ranking and The Method to the Crossfire clip (Link to Crossfire video in case you would like to re-watch). Review your Notice and Focus + Ranking notes from class and use The Method to analyze the evidence by looking for patterns of repetition and contrast. Be sure to look at the "So What" section on pages 33-36 and include those ideas in your post. We'll discuss your work in class on Monday.
