Draft 2 Summary/ Evaluation/ Response

Upload your draft in our class in Moodle into TurnItIn.

ON THE HARD COPY OF YOUR OWN DRAFT:

1. Label in the margin using brackets your intro/  summary/   evaluation/   response/   conclusion.

2. Underline the sentence that cites your source.

3. Underline the first 5 author tags.

Get back in the same groups your were in last time, so that hopefully you are reading papers about your article.

Hand in your daybook at the end of class.

Homework:

1. Make use of the feedback, and think carefully on your own to revise your paper. Review the grading rubric! Have the final version ready to hand in Monday.

2. No word for today.

Sub/Coord

First off, I return your Intellectual Property Review. Check your grade in Moodle to see your midterm grade.

Please read my comments and your scores.  In your daybook:

1. What is one thing you did well in this paper?

2. What is one weakness of this paper? (be specific; you may NOT choose proofreading)

3. What is one category that you will make sure is better in the current draft? How?

Now, for a review of subordination and coordination, we look at this. Together.

In groups you will correct the sentence combining exercise.

Homework:
 
1. Have Draft 2 ready for tomorrow. You will also upload it to TurnItIn in Moodle. You will be allowed up to 13%  match using quotes from your article.
 
2. TWFTD: ubiquitous (from video yesterday)

Metaphors and Marking Up

A. Remember when I said that good writing is like magic?

Well, that's a simile, which is just like a metaphor, which is really just a comparison.

B. We're going to watch a video about metaphors. When it is done, you should be able to give at least one reason why "metaphor matters." Here's the video.

So write in your daybook one reason why "metaphor matters."  Invisible?

C. Now, another story:

I used to get an email with the subject, "Why English Teachers Die Young." It was "bad high school student writing". It said. But it was funny...

Snopes (the place on the internet to go to see if you're being fooled) revealed that these gems are the result of writers' hard work at winning a contest.
If you'd like to read more of them, go to the same contest from a different year.

In your daybook, please copy down two of these that you think are especially good, AND INCLUDE THE AUTHOR'S NAME.

D. Open up your draft for the Summary/Evaluation/Response paper that you are working on. Do a "Save As" to create a new copy of it, and name it with "Colors" in the name. Then do the following:

1. Highlight the introduction BLUE. Italicize your hook.
2. Highlight any summary PINK.
3. Highlight any evaluation of the writing YELLOW.
4. Highlight your response to the content GREEN.
5. Highlight the conclusion ORANGE.
6. Underline the sentence that cites your source.
7. Make sure that the title of the article has quote marks around it.

Now save this in your N drive, and continue to work on the draft. Draft 2 is now due on FRIDAY.  The final version is due on Monday. Tomorrow we will do some more with your draft.

Homework:

1. Work on your draft. Draft 2 is due Friday.

2. TWFTD: synesthesia

We look at subordination and coordination in Everyday Writer. 

You look at the link below and answer the questions in your daybook.

1. List the coordinating conjunctions:

2. List 5 subordinating conjunctions:
