Question Prompt for Reading Response #2

Before I give the prompt, I wanted to encourage you all to check out Geoff's blog. It's really cool. He shows how you might take advantage of the online medium by incorporating images into your response. Also, his blog is a good example of how the "look" of your writing (format, etc) can make it more accessible (and appealing) to readers.

As you write your reading response, be sure to cover everything included in the following prompt:

Show and explain how Garrett-Brown and Holmquist are discovery essays rather than traditional research papers. What is the overall controlling idea of each, and how does each author show and support it? The two authors include their own voices but still employ research: how do they do that successfully (or not)? How do these essays—and Ballenger’s suggestions for research papers (p. 429-33)—help you think about how you might approach Essay 2?
