Today in class, we went over the importance of good note taking and the use of detail in our notes, to not only receive a better grade but to provide ourselves with better notes to look over later on.
We also asked Professor Hodges a question or provided him with a fun fact, in order to get to know him better and become more comfortable in the classroom. We then went over our next LTE homework assignment and learned how to hyperlink in our posts. We concluded class by reading an article on the New York Times about Walmart and guns.

Today, we began class with a riddle to show how different phrasing and specific words can change the meaning of a sentence. It was further explained by placing the word only into a given sentence and seeing how many meanings can come out of doing this.
There was a review of the new assignment to understand how to create a Letter to the Editor responding to an existing NY Times article. This should be something we’re passionate about. The components were emphasized again such as adding credentials and effectively responding to the chosen article.
The Letter to the Editor, “Kudos to Walmart” was given to the class to search for each of the 10 components. As we went through the letter, it was discovered that there was no objection to the original article and just agreed with the same points. The author put the credentials under her name and not inside the letter. This could be a possibility that it was written in and that it was edited out and put at the end. A good letter to the appeases both sides of the argument and this letter does this because the article identifies her own opinion, but in respect to her customers, she expresses that side as well. She is very vague, yet it keeps the conversation going with both ends of the argument. Some letters have very obvious techniques and others are more hidden.

An ideal letter to the editor will embody the author’s own objections to the original article and to create a division in the audience. Furthermore we discussed how the main goal of a proper Letter to the Editor is to get published.
The letter should appeal to the emotions of the readers and the best way to do this is through the use of the 10 components. We briefly discussed the importance of including a citation, so that the reader can form their opinion about the text and compare it with your letter.
The author of “Kudos to Walmart” strategically empathizes with the audience by explicitly stating she is against hunting and finds it cruel, however still backs Walmart in her argument, this carefully worded premise allows the readers to identify with the the author however still splits the audience in two.
The key is to balance oneself with audience while still getting own opinion across to the audience. Personal experiences not only allow your reader to relate to you but upholds your credibility and clarification, without it, you give your letter no basis and your reader no reason to care what you are saying.

In today’s class, we discussed ‘good note’ taking versus ‘bad note’ taking, and why going into detail with notes and taking adequate notes is so vitally important. We were also told about the WordPress page and how to not only access it, but how to take notes or make posts. When making a post, we must select the ‘123uncheckthisbox’ field so that we can post into the appropriate category.
We continued class by asking questions or providing fun facts about ourselves, which was interesting and made us feel more comfortable around Professor Hodges.
We then looked at our homework assignments and the instructions for this homework, when it is due, and where we should submit it. Hyperlinking in our posts and how to do so was also discussed. By copying and pasting a link, it will become accessible to readers in our own posts, for citation or reference purposes.

When writing a letter to the editor, your number one concern is to get into print. Make the letter interesting, you don’t want to make it bland or boring. You want to keep the readers interested.
When you object you can do so by- making it more narrow, attack the authors original thoughts
You can always drop in notes on the blog, when you post early, you are given the opportunity to get early feedback which can help you with you rough draft
Make sure you hyperlink so when you post your letter the readers can link the letter to the original article that your article is talking about.

You can give your blog posts their own personal title within the text by giving it a header. This will make it easier to identify what your post is all about and is a workaround the predetermined assignment title that takes the space of the true title area.
Today we were assigned our first draft of multiple drafts on our very own letter to the editor. We can respond to any article we find interesting from the New York Times. Picking something we are interested in will allow us to have more stake in our argument and should prove to create more engaging letters. However, we must remember our number one job is to try to get into print. Hitting on all our 10 essential components should be able to produce such a product. A link to the assignment can be located above, under the “New Assigment” header. Our first draft is due on Monday, September 09 at midnight.
Today’s subject matter activity proved both difficult but informational. We examined a letter to the editor from the New York Times. The letter is titled “Kudos to Walmart on Guns” (Sept. 04). We got paired into groups of two and each group was asked to find one of the 10 components assigned to them. My group got off a little easy being tasked with finding the citation, which is Re “Walmart Enters Gun Debate, Curtailing Ammunition Sales” (front page, Sept. 4). (Side note: we can hyperlink publications in our citations on WordPress and we are encouraged to do so). Despite my group’s task in finding the citation being an easy one, other groups had less luck. The letter we looked at was a perfect example of how the 10 components can be included with minimal text. This made it slightly more difficult for the other groups, including myself, to pinpoint exactly where each component was located in the text. The text itself was not vague either, it produced explicit nuances which allowed for this roughly 150-word publication to be comprised of all 10 components.

09/05/19 Letter to the Editor Notes
While going over last nights homework, it was pointed out that we need to include a title at the top of the document. As the activity scheduled for today, we need to pick a Letter to the Editor in which with a partner, we need to find the 10 Essential Components discussed during yesterdays lecture. I was chosen to find component 9 in the letter, “Kudos to Walmart.” The information I was looking for in the letter was not included, Hoeller was missing the 9th component which is rhetorical flourish. However, all of the other components were talked about in depth from Susan L. Hoeller’s letter to the editor. During our discussion in class, we learned how to hyperlink our articles or letters into our documents. In addition, another skill we learned while hyperlinking was how to direct our readers to a separate tab instead of ripping them away from our own page. The next letter we stumbled upon in class was “No Quick Fix for Childhood Grief.” The author of the letter explained how he wasn’t comforted correctly by therapists or even his family after he lost his father to suicide at just fourteen years old. He wanted to prove his point of checking in on the child weeks, months, and even years later to see how they are holding up.
Before Monday night at midnight, we will be finding an article that we find appealing from the New York Times. We will be completing a first draft of our own Letters to the Editor. It is critical that we try our hardest to get our letters into print by amplifying the points the author touched on in their article. Also, it is key that we are able to critique the article to give the author feed back. The 10 Essential Components will assist us in constructing our own letters correctly to get us closer to getting into print.

An empty bottle of scotch does not exist because “empty” and “bottle of scotch” contradict each other. If the bottle is empty, then it is just an empty bottle, not an empty bottle of scotch. There’s no scotch in it! A grammatically correct way of saying this is “an empty scotch bottle”, because saying “scotch bottle” refers to the bottle’s initial purpose, not to what’s currently inside.
There are about eight different ways of saying “she told him that she loved him” if you put the word “only” between any of the words. “Only she told him that she loved him” means that she is the only person who told him that she loved him; “she only told him that she loved him” means her expression of love to him is the only action she took; “she told only him” means he is the only person for which she expressed her love; “she told him that only she loved him” means she expressed that she is the only person that loves him; “she told him that she only loved him” means love is her only feeling for him; and “she told him that she loved (only him/him only)” means he is the only person she loves. This tells us that, depending on the placement, a single word can give a sentence many meanings.
To write a proper letter to the editor, one must object properly. Perhaps the editor’s view is too narrow and one must make it broader.
We were given the job to find a specific component of a successful LTE in the letter, “Kudos to Walmart on Guns”, by Susan L. Hoeller. It was found with my partner that the LTE did not contain any objection, a vital aspect of a successful letter. to the target editorial. In fact, the editorial is less of an opinion and more of a news story.

When you are posting to the wordpress blog we were instructed to take the numbers off of the end of our usernames and make sure that we choose the correct tag before we publish it. You can add a title to your article that you are writing at the top.
Choose a topic for our letter to the editor that we are interested in and we will not get bored of writing about. The first draft is used to get feedback and start to understand and write our letter. The first time we write it it will not be graded. After that the next version will be used to refer back to to show growth.
Newspapers want friction and that is how people get published. You do not get published by just agreeing with the editor. When you object you can challenge its relevancy or whether the claim they are making is far too narrow or on the other hand wide.
Covering the checklist will help to get the highest grade and make the best letter to the editor. When linking to an article you can abbreviate the name if you make it a hyperlink. The letters to the editor do not have to be long a wordy to get a point across. The letter that we read appeals to both sides of the argument which makes it so good. In just one sentence she is balancing on both sides oif the fence. A resonated appeal to our emotions helps to get published.

In order to accomplish publish through a letter to the editor, one must not be bland and must create an argument that is thought provoking to other readers. It is not beneficial to simply praise the essay one responds to if wanting to have the letter printed.
Those who cover the entirety of the essential components of a letter to the editor hold a higher probability to have their essay published.
Posting a draft early on before the due date holds the benefit of receiving early feedback.
Citations are necessary to allow the reader to find the original source material that led to the essay being written as well as understand the purpose of the essay.
A letter to the editor should split the readers on the subjects written. The author should identify their opinion while still offering controversy to appease and displease both sides of the argument.
In a letter to the editor there must be something added to the original source material whether it be amplification or an additional argument.

Like all techniques, which are designed for learning new material, note-taking is an essential skill for recalling information later. The best notes are those that can trigger recall of details of a class even and especially after an extended period of time.
Assignments that already published can be revised and updated; current and previous versions can be compared.
In order to properly categorize assignments, it’s important to pay attention to the categories, e.g. uncheck the “123 Uncheck Box”.
According to Professor Hodges, it is EXTREMELY unwise to send all rewrites at the end of semester.
It is possible to edit drafts of the LTE up until the point that it’s included in the portfolio. Earlier versions/drafts and the final version of the LTE will be compared during the course.
In the LTE, we do not have to be in complete disagreement with the author of the original article: something specific can be targeted, e.g. wrong logic, but right argument.
Hyperlinks are created via the classic editor ( link button -> url pasted + link text ( chosen highlighted word)).
In our LTE’s, a link to the original article will be necessary.
http://www.nytimes.com/section/opinion/letters – collection of letters
In a letter to the Editor, there has to be some sort of friction: does not particularly matter what the writer objects to in the original article.
There is no word count in an LTE; it has to cover as many essential components as possible

Today in class we discussed the important components of constructing a letter to the editor. The first part is to pick a news article that particularly moves you or peaks your interest. Next in order to write a complete letter to the editor is to get into print. In order to accomplish this you must disagree with the author or object in some way with what is written.
Once an objection is made you have to follow the outline given on Tuesday and include all of the essential components including credentials, a citation, proposal, etc.
Make sure to link to the article at the end of the letter to the editor.

The author leaves a citation, there is no objection so the letter should not have been published. The writer only praises the original article.

The class discussed, as we walked in, how there is no such thing as an empty bottle of scotch. We all came to the conclusion that just by the wording there is no such thing because if it is an empty bottle it is simply an empty bottle. Therefore there was no remnants of scotch. There is a way for it to be an empty scotch bottle, however an empty bottle of scotch is impossible. The next subject matter is how to accept your invitation to wordpress. Emails were sent out to each individual and only after that can you take notes and such in class and respond to homework prompts. Notes were the next topic of discussion. The lengthier the sentence is, the better grades will be earned. Notes must be taken constantly to pay attention and to know that you will be getting a participation grade. Homework and essays can be edited after the fact that it was posted and will be graded on how well it was edited rather than if simply four minute changes were made. Agendas hold the information for the class of the day you click on. Under this section is where you take notes and look at what needs to be done. Time was taken between serious class talk and discussions were made by getting to know each person. Questions can also be asked to Professor Hodges to get to know him as well. A new homework assignment is posted in which you need to write you own letter to the editor based on some article that means something to you. Examples to disagree with an author of an article may include having a better example or being more specific or insufficiency/irrelevancy.
