11/12: Rubric Review & Introducing Autoethnography

Rubric Review for Collaborative History Project

Your Collaborative History Project is due in class today. Take some time in your groups to review your projects using the rubric. How long will your group need to complete any final revisions?

Introducing Autoethnography

We’ll take some time today to look at an example of the next genre we’ll be studying and eventually writing: autoethnography. What do you notice about the word “autoethnography”? What do you think it means based on what we know about language in general? Together, we will read the first two pages of Dr. Shareen Inayatulla’s chapter “Literate Vixens and Shameless Hijabis: An Automythnography.” Based on this reading, we will build on our earlier definition of “autoethnography.”

HOMEWORK

Work on FINAL REVISIONS of your Collaborative History Projects. Due by Thursday, November 14.

READ Inayatulla’s “Literate Vixens and Shameless Hijabis: An Automythnography” and the excerpt of Jackson & Grutsch McKinney’s “Critical Introduction” to autoethnography, both available on BrightSpace, nested under the Content link.
