Create
a
WIKI
Using
Randy
Koch's,
"Does
Cultivating
Social
Action
Put
Writing
Pedagogy
Out
to
Pasture?"
(in
BOLT)
as
a
model
of
a
review,
your
group
assignment
is
to
create
a
WIKI
in
which
you
conduct
a
detailed
review
of
a
text
that
purports
to
promote
writers’
development
.
As
a
group,
choose
a
text
related
to
the
writers
with
whom
you
may
one
day
be
working.
Randy
Koch
describes
each
of
the
books’
chapters
and
then,
after
discussing
the
book’s
strengths,
offers
an
unfavorable
evaluation.
For
our
purposes,
you
should
provide
a
brief
summary
of
the
contents,
arguments,
and
exercises
in
the
text
and
then
evaluate
it
with
multiple
references
to
the
authors
and
compositionists
we
have
discussed
this
semester.
Some
questions
to
consider:
How
does
your
chosen
text
engage
or
conflict
with
the
ideas
we
have
considered
so
far?
How
does
a
particular
exercise,
activity,
discussion,
or
assignment,
relate
to
any
of
the
pedagogies
or
essays
we
have
read
and
discussed?
What
are
the
texts
greatest
strengths?
What
are
its
greatest
drawbacks?
Would
you
use
this
text
to
promote
the
development
of
writers?
If
so,
what
might
be
the
limitations?
If
not,
what
might
you
borrow
from
it
to
supplement
what
you
would
choose
to
do?
(These
questions
are
in
no
particular
order
and
would
make
for
a
very
bad
organizing
principle.
They
are
meant
to
be
representative
of
the
types
of
questions
one
might
ask).
Keep
in
mind
also
that
the
WIKI
you
create
will
lead
to
a
40-‐minute
class
presentation.
You
are
free
to
use
the
WIKI
as
part
of
your
presentation,
but
you
might
also
choose
not
to.
Present
your
Evaluation
of
a
Text
We
will
compare
how
various
groups
have
gone
about
designing
their
WIKIs.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
you
as
a
group
to
use
your
chosen
text
to
present
a
discussion
of
what
you
feel
is
good
or
bad
pedagogy.
40
minutes
are
yours.
Save
10
minutes
for
your
classmates
to
complete
their
rubrics
(see
reverse)
for
evaluating
your
presentation.
Your
peers’
evaluations
will
account
for
50%
of
your
presentation
grade.
You
are
free
to
use
your
WIKI
in
your
presentation,
but
you
might
choose
some
other
visual
aid.
Your
WIKI
will
probably
have
a
great
deal
of
information
on
it,
so
you
might
choose
to
make
a
new
visual
aid
by
selecting
material
from
your
WIKI.
As
with
your
“Short
Formal
Reflection,”
assume
your
audience
to
be
a
group
of
people
who
will
someday
be
attempting
to
help
writers
to
develop.
An
important
consideration
in
designing
a
presentation
is
audience
involvement.
How
will
you
engage
your
audience?
