Revised Overview of Community Writing Assignment
What is working well in this assignment?
Where do you need feedback in this assignment? What do you want your peers to read for? What are you most concerned about in this assignment?
I updated the negative of the Florida Senate Bill SB-736. I started to put in my opinion of the bill in my paper. I sided with the teachers Union. I gave my reasons in my paper. There is a lot of information on this issues because it is a current issue plus, a lot of newspapers have publish this article state-wide. I would like to get feedback on the idea if i am going in the right direction. I tend to put a lot of information in my work that may/may not be 100 percent related to my topic.

4/4/11 Community Writing Changes
First off, the reason why my paper is the way it is, is because, my initial draft was in that first paragraph. When it came time to make the changes, I put a page break in the page to show where my initial paragraph was and where the new draft was. This is something beneficial for me to look back and see the changes that i am making. Also, when it comes to the final draft, i can take the final draft and put in on a new page.

Community Observation Project
The observation assignment I want to do for my community is try to understand teachers' pay to teacher performance. I want to see if the better the teachers' performance, the better the pay, and vice versa. My audience will be Pinellas county teachers. Teachers can be in any public or private (if applicable), and any grade level (Pre-start to College). I want to help inform the community about the importance of teachers pay. I also want to convince the reader (of which side I take) that my side is important for students’ success. I want to write for all Pinellas county parents since their children are one of the top priory of their lives. If there is a connection between the two, can there be a balance? How much lee way can you give before you start having problems? These are just a couple of questions I want to answer.

Daily Writing 3/7/11
Choose one of the quotes below from Re-Imagining Change. What does it mean to you? How does it relate to what you've read in this book? How does it relate to the assignments you can create this semester? (Writing for Community/Writing in the Disciplines/Showcase Presentation)
"Just as our bodies are made of blood and flesh, our identities are made of narratives." (17)
"In order to make systemic social changes, change agents much understand the histories and institutions that underlie contemporary social systems, as well as how these histories and institutions shape culture." (19)
"Identifying and challenging underlying assumptions is probably the most important element to changing a story." (39)
Overview of Chapters 1 and 2 with footnote presentations.
What is a Narrative Power Analysis?
What is a meme?
Questions?
Ideas for Assignments?
My Answers:
"Identifying and challenging underlying assumptions is probably the most important element to changing a story." (39)
In order to help change a story, you need to know what you are trying to change. I have to find out what assumptions are currently active in this community and challenge them. I have to challenge them to see if they are correct. I can use this in this semester when we did the NOFO. We have to find out what are really issues in this community and find ways to fix them.
Narrative Power Analysis
A framework to show the interaction between narrative and the relation on power
Meme--A unit used in Culture.
I do not have any questions at this time
We could get more hands on with this assignment, maybe a field trip? Maybe a community involvement?
