Practice Summary/Response

I am collecting daybooks at the end of class today.  Be sure to include the "Why Is English So Hard to Spell" note sheet.

I.  Everybody put up one (two?) combined sentence from  Ex. 24.1.

II.  We look at your Pat Bourne lists of events.  For THIS class, your summary should help us know how the article did it -- you can't simply straighten out the information.

III. Okay, take some time and in your daybook, write out one paragraph that summarizes the Pat Bourne article, and one paragraph that responds to it.

IV. Now, read the handout, an example of summary and response on this paper.  This example has 530 words.
           
Please do the following:
1.  Label the paragraphs:  summary/response/intro/conclusion

2. Double underline where the title and author are cited. Underline every "author tag."

3. Label which points are positive or negative in the response.

V. Which article have you chosen?  Read your article tonight and be prepared to work with it during class tomorrow.

Here's a link to a cool writer and his book. I have copies of this book if you'd like to read it.

Homework:

1. Read your article several times.  Begin to annotate -- you can make a copy in the library at 10 cents a page.

2. TWFTD:  A word from your article.  So that means a quote from your article. You may use the Bedford definition, but record it as the source.
