Session eight
https://pad.pzimediadesign.nl/p/rw-rm-21022018
The OUTCOME of this RW&RM session will be an ESSAY.
This will use two texts you have made a synopsis of;
the texts will be compared and you will make an evaluation of their similarities and differences;
you will also establish your own position in the discussion.
You will identify a question, outline an argument and reach a conclusion.
The two texts might agree or disagree, or the juxtaposition may provide interesting nuances.
Consider the two texts before coming to the class
We will begin at 11:00 with a deadline for final draft at 18:00

BEFORE THE SESSION

EDITING SYNOPSES FOR THE READER
EDITING TIPS
Put time aside to work as group on this and take it stage by stage.
Agree style sheet = keep it simple and use Harvard method
George Orwell, in Politics and the English Language, gives some useful editing guidelines:
Orwell's Politics and the English Language
Use EDITING FILTRATION SYSTEM below=
Text editor(s)= organises the text(s) and makes the sentences flow
Copy editor(s) = checks the copy and makes sure it agrees with the style sheet – serves as a second pair of eyes for the text editor
Proof reader (s) = makes sure there are no typos or spelling mistakes, double checks the names and dates &c.
SOME USES FOR THE SYNOPSES:
1) Components can be used as ANNOTATION to the reader, as INTRODUCTION to different texts and as a GUIDE through the whole
2) Synopses can be used as MAIN COMPONENTS IN AN ESSAY (see next session)
3) The WHOLE TEXT can be edited together as BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY or as part of CONCORDANCE
4) The elements can be SHUFFLED AND SCRAMBLED and FED THROUGH SOFTWARE to make new texts = THE SCANNER will present innumerable possibilities.
5) Synopses can be used as the basis for a CO-AUTHORED TEXT
