Boyd / “Wikipedia as a Site of Knowledge Production”:
undefined
- Boyd does not begin with her own assessment of Wikipedia.
Instead, she starts out with its general reputation and only gradually
leads up to her own judgment, stating it most fully in her ending
paragraph. What are the advantages of this strategy? What might be the
disadvantages? Was it a good choice for this topic? Why or why not? - The primary audience for Boyd’s evaluation is teachers, though
parents and students would also ebenfit form it. Is her evaluation
effective for this audience? Why or why not? How might it change if she
were targeting students instead?
Green / “The Boldness of Roxane Gay’s Hunger“:
undefined
- Green is evaluating Hunger specifically, but she
discusses other books and essays written by Roxane Gay throughout the
evaluation. Why do you think Green does this? One of the features of an
evalaution is a knowledgeable discussion of the subject. How does
Green’s knowledge of Gay’s other works strenghthen her assessment of Hunger?
