Question Description
This assignment is a MEMO on susan bordo slender bodies ; instructions on memo down below,
Responses must be at least one full page in length and should not exceed 2 double-spaced pages. In each response, I expect you to address the author(s) overarching argument and claims and to connect the text(s) to other readings, classroom discussions, and current events. If there are multiple readings or chapters that day, you must address ALL the assigned readings unless otherwise specified. You are not required to include a Works Cited/Bibliography page, but you must include in-text citations with the author’s name and page number when using direct quotes. I generally offer guiding prompts/questions for responses in class before they are due. It is your responsibility to get notes from a classmate if you miss class- do not email me asking for a quick rundown. And always remember- the GMU Writing Center is an excellent resource!
Final thought on memos-
Memos must critically engage with the chosen text. They must concern themselves with the writer’s critical response to the text. Does the writer have a personal connection to the subject? Are there related theoretical schools, historical periods or cultural texts that would be pertinent to connect the text to? Memos can include questions from the reading that remain unclear, suggest topics for further research, or present critiques of the reading. But do not solely critique the reading; find what is valuable in the text even if you do not agree with it. NOTE: MEMOS MAY NOT SIMPLY BE A SUMMARY OF THE READING. Please remember that these memos will guide our daily discussions. Grading preference will be given to critiques and questions that are designed for further discussion.
