Contribution Page

This page is for sharing ideas, materials and teaching resources.  There is also a folder where you can place materials (try to make a link back to this page so we know it's there).  

The material was created by TAs teaching RWS100 and 200 over the past few semesters. Please add to it! 



 

 

Sample Teacher Sites 

This page is the main resource for RWS100 in fall 2019. It contains a lot of teaching material, so you may want to focus on the
sections in each unit below titled "Main Teaching Materials." 

 

You can also take a look at the wiki sites created by several 100 teachers.  These contain teaching material and homework.

 

 

Andrew Testa's Teaching Materials

Andrew Testa created a huge resource page full of powerpoints, teaching materials, syllabi, assignments, tips and advice. It is
several year's worth of materials for both RWS100 and 200.  He has also shared the work he did as a TA in fall 2017.

 

RWS100 F 2017

 

Lecture Notes and Powerpoints

Andrew's PPTs:

Unit 1 on PACES and Clive Thompson:

 

Unit 2 on Smoking Articles and Rhetorical Strategies:

 

Unit 3 on Danah Boyd, Digital Literacy, and Outside Sources:

 

Unit 4 on Fake News and Star Wars:

 

Note: Andrew's PowerPoints improve as the semester progresses and make good use of memes and humor to entertain students. The PPTs are for a MWF but can be easily adapted to TTH. Unit 4 was experimental -- we watched Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and I found some texts about fake news and Star Wars.

Kahoots Quizzes

These are online games you can play in class to survey students on issues before a new reading, to review knowledge of concepts, as a 
reading quiz, or for fun.  (Here is a NYT article discussing how teachers use it.) You can quickly set up a quiz by going to the web site kahoot.com.
This will generate a 4 digit code. Students then go to the Kahoot web site on their phones, enter the code, and play begins. Samples:
