Genre Rough Draft.

Rough Draft

3 comments:

  1. The genre of the piece is a letter, with the interest dealing with child care. The purpose of the piece is very clear, it’s an informative lesson plan written for a substitute teacher. From what I’ve seen, the piece is very well developed and includes a lot of detail and specific rules that must be followed in order to successfully teach the class. There is nothing in this that I found to be confusing, it’s pretty straight forward and easy to follow. It’s very well organized and includes plans for different activities. The tone and voice are very appropriate for giving a detailed lesson plan to a substitute. It’s friendly, yet with a tint of coated authority behind it. I didn’t really notice any problems with language or grammar. I really enjoyed reading this and it was very well done, good job.

    • What is their genre? What is their interest? Are the rules of the genre being followed/bent/broken? Which rules? Is the purpose of the piece clear? Give suggestions.
    Their genre is a lesson plan. Their interest is childcare. It is unclear who the lesson plan is being presented to. Are children or adults teaching the class? You may want to specify what time the stations will open and close.

    • Is the piece detailed and fully developed? Give suggestions for expansion.
    The piece is developed for the most part. The only thing I would add is more specific times for station and maybe a few more details as to what should be done at each station.

    • Is the piece organized in an appropriate way? Is there anything in the piece that is confusing?
    The piece is organized in an appropriate way. One thing that I am confused about is who will be teaching the lesson.

    • What is memorable about the piece? Why? Are the tone and voice appropriate?
    The thing I found memorable about this piece was what was being done at each station. The tone and voice are appropriate.
    • Are there any language and conversation issues?
    I did not see any issue.

  3. Jaime,
    The genre is a bit confusing. This seems like a letter to a sub-teacher explaining detailed in-class procedures. I suggest you think about this genre a bit more; how long would a sub have to review these plans? Would it suit your genre better to switch from full paragraphs to listing and using visuals (pics from past classroom activities) to explain processes to a sub. If a sub would only have a few minutes to review your notes, would paragraphs be appropriate? Overall, your information that you have included is good.
