What is the POA?

Reading academic articles is akin to walking into the middle of a conversation. When reading most articles you’re entering the middle of a conversation between academics. If you’re unfamiliar with a body of research it’s hard to decipher what’s been said, who’s saying what, key terms to unlock the conversation, and where this reading fits into the larger conversation. You will complete two reading guide responses to help you understand the conversation, remember what you’ve read, and enhance your ability to contribute to the conversation.
You will submit two reading responses this week: one for each of the journal articles assigned.
· Butkowski, Chelsea P., Travis L. Dixon, Kristopher R. Weeks, and Marisa A. Smith. 2020. Quantifying the Feminine Self(ie): Gender Display and Social Media Feedback in Young Women’s Instagram Selfies. New Media & Society 22(5):817-837. (on Canvas)
· Boisvert, St´efany. 2020. ‘Queering’ TV, One Character at a Time: How Audiences Respond to Gender-Diverse TV Series on Social Media Platforms. Critical Studies in Television: The International Journal of Television Studies 15(2):183-201. (on Canvas)
What is the POA? POA stands for “Point Of Article.” This is the first thing I do when I read something. Reading the abstract, introduction, and conclusion/discussion sections of academic articles are useful places to identify the point of the article. You should mention key concepts, theories, or questions discussed in the article because they’re vital towards understanding the article and to what conversation it contributes.
How did they do it? This is the easiest part. There’s typically a “Methods” section which discusses how the researchers carried out their research project. It is important to write this down so you can follow up on what it is, why it was used, and if other people in the conversation used this method. If this is a theoretical article, briefly discuss what theoretical argument is being made and why.
What did they find? Figuring out the actual findings is trickier than it seems. Researchers tend to repeat the major findings throughout the article. If you see the same results presented and discussed in numerous places write them down, but write them in your own words.
So what? This is my favorite part to address. Once I finish reading an article, I freewrite. This is a stream-of-consciousness writing on what I think the importance of the article is, how I can use it for my research, and how it relates to what else I know about the topic. It’s also a time for me to think about how section three relates to section one.
What questions do I have about this article? When reading academic work it’s important to ask questions about the material. For example, what data the author(s) use, what the work reminds you of (broader connections), why this particular research method was preferred, and what would happen if they measured something a different way are great ways to expand your knowledge and understanding about a reading.

Literacy Practice Analysis

For your first major writing assignment, I would like you to choose 3 of your personal literacy practices (remember those you listed in HW1 of this module) and discuss the extent to which these practices hinder or support your ability to engage with academic literacies required for you to be successful in college at large.
For example, you might want to consider the extent to which your comfort level with technology facilitates or hinders your success in some of the classes you are currently taking in addition to ENG101. Or, you might want to consider how much of a reader you are outside of school. Here, while you may have no trouble comprehending the texts you read for pleasure, you might want to think about the different kind of reading practices you are being asked to use to make sense of the other college texts. Again, these are just examples of ways of thinking about how your personal literacy practices may facilitate and/or hinder your engagement in academic practices encountered in other courses.
As you prepare your analysis, it will be helpful for you to look back on the readings and pay special attention to any examples in the readings where the authors discuss how their personal literacy practices helped and/or hindered their transition into college. A great example here is Marlena Stanford’s mention of Nadine or Randall McClure’s discussion Edward and Susan.
Audience:
As you write this, I’d like you to think of the following audience who would be interested in reading your literacy practices analysis.
Composition teachers/literacy researchers looking to broaden their knowledge about how students use and transfer literacy practices
Sources:
As far as sources, I am aware that most of your evidence will be anecdotal in nature. However, you also need to use and incorporate at least two of the class readings from this unit into your paper.
Citation:
Make sure you include a Works Cited page and that any quotes/references you use in your paper are properly cited according to MLA guidelines. Please visit Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) (Links to an external site.) for everything you need to know about MLA.
Length: 1000-1200 words

In Act III scene iv, Hamlet appears to chastise his mother for being unfaithful to his father, but upon closer examination, it becomes clear that hamlet is anxious about his mother’s power as a sexual being, who does not conform to the stereotypical gender roles expected of mothers.

Using the Ideas you were able to generate through your analysis of the short story “On the Rainy River” (will attach the literary theory graphic organizer containing the ideas”, focus on something interesting or significant that your analysis revealed, and create a thesis statement (sentence not paragraph) that you can use as the basis for a short (approximately 500 words) analysis of the short story “On the Rainy River”

Think about what applying your chosen literary theory was able to reveal that another literary theory may not have.

Consider how each of the following examples of thesis statement written for the other two passages you read (will attach for you to see) uses a particular theory as the basis for textual analysis

1) In Act III scene iv, Hamlet appears to chastise his mother for being unfaithful to his father, but upon closer examination, it becomes clear that hamlet is anxious about his mother’s power as a sexual being, who does not conform to the stereotypical gender roles expected of mothers.

2) In Act III scene IV, it is clear that Gertrude’s identity is torn between that of the archetypal mother, who wants to nurture and comfort her son, and Hamlet’s representation of her as the archetypal seductress.

3) In “The History Lesson” Jeanette Armstrong illustrates the conflict between the stereotypes about aboriginal peoples and the realities of cultural oppression

Submit your thesis statement for your analysis “On the Rainy River”. Note that you are submitting the one-sentence thesis statement. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WRITE THIS ESSAY.

Below I will attach the short story “On the River” that you are basing your thesis statement on, and the organizer with the ideas you can use to draw your thesis if you would like

I will also attach the readings from the exemplary thesis statements (gertrude, history lesson and hamlet scene) above for you to see how they derived those statements as examples.
