Draft 1 with Research and Rammstein

I check for Works Cited pages while you watch Rammstein.

You read two drafts and fill out comment sheets.

Homework:

1.  Read this paper online.  It is guilty of plagiarising in several ways; that is, it has failed to tell us where outside material came from.  In your daybook, explain what you think should be cited and describe how it would be done. [AND for extra credit, fill at least a page in your daybook about the Amerika video.]

2.  Upload your Draft #1 into Moodle;  make sure that your paraphrasing of information is appropriate.

3.  TWFTD:  usurp in OED.

Remember EasyBib ?

We go over "My Friend Michelle" questions.

Author tag = signal phrase --- circle them all in "Michelle." Copy her signal phrases into your daybook.

In your daybook, write out her in-text citations #2 and #3 using parenthetical citations.  Copy out the whole sentence....

You MUST have a Works Cited page with your draft tomorrow, with at least ONE source on it.  So get back into EasyBib, start a project, and remember how it works.

I show you the grading rubric for this paper.

We go to the lab.

Homework:

1.  Draft 1 of Problem/Solution with Research is due tomorrow.

2.  TWFTD:  your choice, from your sources.

"My Friend Michelle" and Research

Daybook Check #4: In the article "Pitter Patter of Rain Might Reveal a Bridge's Structural Integrity," by Andrew Liszewski, he talks about...

You read "My Friend Michelle."

Please underline every in-text citation.

Please check each in-text citation against her Works Cited list.

Answer these questions in your daybook:

1.  Does each in-text citation lead to a source on the Works Cited list?        Give details.

2.  Is each source that is listed on the Works Cited list get mentioned in the essay?     Give details.

3.  If you wanted to look up the alcoholism test in the book Getting Them Sober, what page would you go to?

4.  Look at the Works Cited list on page 636 in Bedford.  Does "My Friend Michelle" use any online sources?      Does Juliet Schor use any online sources?       Which list indicates this more clearly and how?

Time to research.  Remember the TWO daybook tasks related to sources:  Monday's 4 internet sites and Tuesday's database handout.

Homework:

1.  Research.

2.  TWFTD:   a word that you run into as you look at sources

Databases

Hand in your Mike Rowe essays.

Now an example of giving credit where credit is due: Virginia Lee Burton. Who leads us to this story.

We look at the SCC databases. You go to the LRC on The Hub (under Student Services) or click here. Click around on the different collections; the most useful to you will be EBSCOhost and Gale/Cengage. Each one works a little differently, but each inside each one, if you find something useful, find the button that emails it to you. That way you don't have to remember anything about it; it's in your email.

I hand out a worksheet. This must be filled out before this research is done. You may or may not use the sources you list here; this is to practice finding the information.

Then off to the lab to look at possible sources and fill out your worksheet.

Hand in your daybooks.

Homework:

1.  Find sources using the CRAAP test and SCC databases.  Do yesterday's homework and today's handout in order to practice thinking about your sources.  As you do this, identify sources and information to put in your paper.

2.  TWFTD:  attribution in OED.

Sources: The CRAAP Test

More problem/solution? These films.      This film.

I return your papers.

What is it about the internet? Sources and reliability. Google: famous failures. See this? Compare to this. How about googling charitable giving statistics?

Let's think about the C.R.A.A.P. test for this site. Take notes.

Currency? Relevance? Authority? Accuracy? Purpose?

Pay attention to these factors as you look at sources.

Now.  Go to the lab, and find at least 4 different sources that apply to your topic.  Two of them should be reliable, according to the CRAAP test, and two should fail the CRAAP test on some point. You must provide the URL, describe each site, and explain how it either meets or fails the CRAAP test.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) you will hand in your daybooks to be checked.

Homework:

1.  Find 4 online sources that pertain to your subject.  Two should pass and two should fail the CRAAP test. Record their names and the reasons they pass or fail. This will NOT be in the daybook check tomorrow, so you may begin it but not have it done for tomorrow.

2.  If you have not turned in your Mike Rowe short essay, that is due tomorrow.

3.  Have your daybook ready to hand in.

4.  TWFTD: reliable in OED.
