Working on Summary/Response

Now, to get you moving on your first draft, you will answer the questions on this handout in your daybook during class today. If you have questions, ask me.

If you finish these questions before the end of class, begin writing your first draft.

Homework:

1.  Begin writing the first draft of your Summary/Response. It's due on Friday.

2.  TWFTD:  a word from your article. YOU CHOOSE THE WORD, copy down the sentence FROM YOUR ARTICLE that uses it, and then find the definition that fits that quote.  You may use the dictionary of your choice, but credit it as your source.

Summary/Response

I am collecting daybooks 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. See the assignment sheet for the next paper.Time to skim the articles (on the back) and choose one.  Read your article tonight and be prepared to work with it during class tomorrow.


Homework:

1.  Look over the article choices, pick one, and read it.  Begin to annotate -- you can make a copy in the library at 10 cents a page.



4. 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.
