Sum/Response Draft #2

First of all, I return your memory papers. 


This time for the "editing" score, I subtracted 1 point for a comma-splice, run-on or a fragment, and 1/2 a point for anything else marked. 


On the next paper I'll take 2 points off for every c.s., r-o or frag.


Then you read each other's drafts.  And turn in your daybooks.


You only have a midterm grade posted on Webadvisor if you have a D or below, but I will give you your midterm grade inside your daybook when I return them.

Modifiers

Thinking about modifiers.  Read pages 349-353. 
Do Ex. 35.1 numbers 1-5

Homework:

1.  Draft #2 Summary/Response is due tomorrow. Any questions?

2.  I will collect daybooks tomorrow.

Summary/Response Draft #1

You read each other's drafts.

Homework:

1.  Continue to work on this paper.  Draft #2 is due on Friday. Remember that Milford has a writing center if you'd like help from someone who is not me.

2.  On Friday I will collect your daybooks to score for your midterm grade.  You should have 19 vocabulary words and any homework assignments up to date.  The vocabulary words are worth 4 points each.

Working on Summary/Response

Let's check on the rhetorical situation here:

Genre: summary/response essay which is very similar to a book or movie review.

Audience: someone who has NOT read the original (so they would not need to). This is an artificial requirement; many of your readers WILL have read the article, but you are writing as though we had not.

Purpose: to provide a clear, unbiased account of the article, and then share your reaction to it (thoughts about it). Therefore you must think.

Draft #1 is due tomorrow. You MUST have both some summary and some response in this draft to get credit for it. 



Get into groups.  Show each other your organizational maps of the article.  Share questions and thoughts that you had about the article as you read it -- you must copy down three questions (can be yours or someone else's) in your daybook below your "chart."  When you have done this, you  have time to work on your draft.

Homework:

1. Create Draft #1 of your Summary/Response.

2. One vocabulary word. You should have 19 words by the end of this week. I will be checking journals next week for midterm grades. Any daybook work that was assigned as homework receives points. Scroll down in the blog to check assignments.

Summary/Response

You get out your copy of the article about Pat Bourne.

You write a paragraph of summary and a paragraph of response in your daybook about Pat Bourne.

Then we look at an example;  you annotate it.

 Label with brackets the intro/ summary/response/conclusion.

Underline the citing of the article and author tags.

Underline any quotes from the article.

Decide what the response is doing -- a)analyzing effectiveness, b)agreeing/disgreeing, or c)reflecting on the text/information.  Label what you find in the margins.

Homework:

1. Continue working on your Summary/Response.  The first draft is due on Wednesday.  Tonight you must create a map-outline-chart-list that shows how your article is organized.  This should cover at least one page in your daybook.  Also, be aware that your first draft MUST have some of both summary and response in it, not just summary.  You can also alternate between the two when you organize your own paper.

2.  One vocabulary word.
