Author: Teachers Teaching Teachers
On TTT http://edtechtalk.com/ttt this Wed night 01.25 at 9ET/6PT, join the members of our the Youth Voices http://youthvoices.live LRNG team https://www.lrng.org/o/youth-voices and give +Sarah Woodard feedback on her playlist with XP's and a digital badge: Craft Like a Columnist.
Sarah describes this online, blended curriculum like this to youth:
This playlist will provide you the opportunity to inquire into the rhetorical choices a national columnist employs to write arguments. After selecting a columnist to study, you will read, annotate, and analyze at least three columns; write a blog post reflecting on your learning; and then try your hand at writing a column about an issue of your choice by applying rhetorical techniques you learned from analyzing the columnist's writing.
When youth complete the XP (online experiences) they will apply for a badge by showing work that meets some of the criteria specified on the +National Writing Project's Civically Engaged Writing Analysis Continuum
-
-Employs effective rhetorical strategies, tone, and style very well suited for the purpose of encouraging civic discourse or convincing the intended audience to support the argued position
--Effectively advocates for increased awareness, a desired change, or direct civic action in relation to an intended audience
As well as competencies from +Mozilla Webmakers's Web Literacy - 21st Century Skills
Communication
--Analyzing messages from others for implicit or explicit meaning to inform one’s own approach.
--Seeking guidance to refine technique/approach to enhance effectiveness.
--Writing with appropriate clarity, grammar and punctuation, and necessary information.
