7: Does knowing about the JK Rowling controversy impact your view of the Harry Potter books as you are reading? If so, how? If not, why not? Do you think it’s possible to separate the art from the artist? Why is this an important conversation to have in a class about children’s literature? 6: I have so enjoyed watching your videos and your engagement with the discussions so far!

For this week’s discussion, please choose a page or chapter from the last half of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Reading that chapter or page closely, take note of Rowling’s style and tone using the strategies we learned about in class, and then analyze how the setting of the story intermingles with the style and tone. How do they work together in this section to build a world for characters and readers? For more information on JK Rowling read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JK_Rowling

Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers.  Analyzing a Music Video Go to YouTube and select a music video. For this particular discussion, it’s best to use a song, artist, or genre that is mostly new to you. However, keep in mind that you will be sharing this video and your notes with the class, so select something appropriate (no overt sex, blood, gore, and so forth). Once you have chosen a music video, complete the following steps in order: First, turn off your computer screen or turn away from the screen and listen to the song. Take notes on the effects of the auditory modality on you: How does listening to the song affect you bodily—your emotions, bodily sensations, etc. Next, turn off the sound and replay the video while watching the screen this time. Jot down how the moving images and other visual elements that affect you. Describe your sensations in as much detail as possible. Finally, watch the video with both the sound and image. What changes between the three different modalities (auditory, visual, and multimodal) did you notice? Include a link to the video or embed it in your initial post. Discuss your findings to the above three steps. For your responses, discuss your classmates’ findings. Do their sensations/reactions surprise you? Do you respond differently to the video?

Your essay should include an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Introduction: Your introduction should make all of the moves that we’ve practiced and executed the entire semester—a hook, background information, and a thesis statement. You might also use one of the templates for introducing conventional ideas in TS/IS (pg. 23-4). Body Paragraphs: You should have one body paragraph that evaluates your introduction, one that evaluates your body paragraphs, and one that evaluates your conclusion. Your body paragraphs should also make all of the moves that we’ve practiced and executed the entire semester. They should contain a clear topic sentence that states your claim. They should provide textual evidence from your diagnostic essay to support your claim. In other words, you want to either paraphrase or quote yourself. (Your parenthetical citations would be your last name and the page number.) Once you have provided the evidence to support your claim, you should explain how the evidence proves your claim. For example, if one of your claims is that you did a poor job with your introduction (topic sentence), you should provide evidence from your paper and then you should explain what you did wrong and how you would correct it. Similarly, if one of your claims is that you wrote an effective thesis statement, you would quote the thesis statement and explain why it is effective. Conclusion: By now, you should be a conclusion-writing machine! This is your last chance to hone your skills before you head off to English 102. Remember to make the three moves that we’ve learned and practiced this semester—restate your thesis, add something new (explain broader implications, propose a solution, or predict the future), and bookend your hook. This essay will be shorter than the formal essays that you composed this semester. It will probably be between 500-700 words, though keep in mind that the quality of your thinking and the quality of your writing is more important than the number of words it takes to get your message across.
