Article- Is ‘HIIPA’ the New HIIT? It May Be Just As Effective—but There’s a Catch By Elizabeth Millard.

1. Read and annotate the above article from Reading Choices Week 2, then compose a response to your reading of no less than 200 words that: introduces the title and author of your choice of reading, summarizes the reading briefly, defines the argument(s) or persuasive point (s) within the reading that the author is making, responds to the reading using specific, quoted evidence from the text (i.e. Do you agree or disagree?

Is there something you would add? Is there something you object to?), and uses proper MLA in-text citations* for your quoted evidence. If you are unsure about your "response" to the reading, or if you are unsure where to start you response, you may consider whether the reading corresponds with any of the class themes (see Week 1 Module).

In addition to, or in substitution of the "responding to the reading" guideline listed above, you may note any logical fallacies* you identify in the work using specific evidence from the text, explain how the evidence you cite fits that fallacy, and suggest how the author could fix it *(see: Glossary of Terms and ""An Explanation of Course Terminology and Student Outcomes, and Tips for Success in Class").

2. After reading and annotating Methods of Discovery chapters 1 and 2, respond to the following questions in no less than 100 words (total combined for both); responses should directly answer the question in at least one full sentence.

a. An author wants to write a memoir. She is particularly interested in her relationship with her parents as a teenager. In order to focus on that period of her life, she decides to omit other events and time periods from the memoir. The finished text is a combination of stories, reflections, and facts. This text does not have a clear thesis statement or proofs. Could this "selective" memory" writing be called an argument? What are the reasons for your decision?

b. Remember a situation in which you chose or were forced to follow the product model of writing, whether consciously or sub-consciously. Consider both school writing tasks and out-of-school ones. How did the process go for you? Was it difficult, boring, obscure or easy, joyful and simple? Did it challenge you?

3. After submitting your own discussion post based on the guidelines in steps 1 and 2 above, submit a response to either part of one of your classmates' posts of no less than 100 words.

Remember, these discussion posts are scored on mechanics, content, and insight, the precise definition of which appear in the rubric for this assignment, but which include grammar and punctuation, following guidelines and including all parts requested, and being thoughtful and critical.
