3rd Quarter RJ Conference

Next week when you guys have time to work on your visual argument (Mon-Thurs), you will also need to meet with me for 5-10 minutes for your reading journal conference.  The only RJ you have for this quarter is for Young Men & Fire.


What to talk about:

• Your growth as a critical reader--remember this is always in terms of Nabokov's definition of critical reading and you MUST use evidence from your RJ (earlier ones for where you were and YM&F for your growth)
• The difference between critically reading fiction and non-fiction.  You can discuss your preferences but I also want you to talk about the actual differences in reading them (what you look for differently, which is more challenging or easier and in what ways, etc.).  Again, use evidence from your RJ to back up your claims.
