DESCRIPTION:Mary Jo Reiff\, who is the Director of Composition (English 101
  and 102)\, will share ideas for how writing teachers plan to integrate th
 e book into their introductory courses and assignments. The focus will be 
 on a rhetorical analysis assignment for English 101 that integrates the re
 view/rating and evaluative features of The Anthropocene Reviewed and on a 
 cultural artifact assignment for English 102 that integrates some of the s
 hort essays from the book that analyze the cultural relevance of objects/a
 rtifacts. In general\, the series of brief essays could be used to illustr
 ate techniques for argumentation\, analysis\, use of evidence\, as well as
  style (voice\, tone\, and language use) and could be the starting point f
 or various writing prompts. This session would be beneficial to anyone con
 sidering using the book in a first-year student course.\n\nCopies of the b
 ook will be available at all Teach-In events.
