Final Improvements

Open your Summary/ Eval/ Response paper in Turnitin (in Moodle). NOW you can click on the middle button and see comments I have made, and see some proofreading by the software.

Use EasyBib to create a Works Cited page.

For your daybook today, find one sentence using coordination and one using subordination from your own paper, and copy them down.

Check your daybook list of errors for the paper returned to you. What should you look for in THIS paper?

Last ten minutes:  The next paper you write is called the Problem/ Solution paper. This weekend, as you finish up your Summary/ Eval/ Response paper, be thinking about a problem that you'd like to think more deeply about solving.

Here are a selection of sources that point to problems. You could use one of these, or come up with your own. Note: I prohibit gun-control related papers.

"Humans Need Not Apply" video by CGP Grey.

"Injustice in Ferguson, Long Before Michael Brown" from Bloomberg's Business Week.

"The Net Neutrality Debate in 3 Minutes" by Hank G.

"Incarceration Nation" By CNN

"The Skills Gap" by Siemens

"Alcohol is Still the Deadliest Drug in the United States, and It’s Not Even Close" The Washington Post

Daybooks are due.

Homework:

1. Final Version of your Summary/ Eval/ Response due Monday with ALL tan sheets.

2. Look through the problem examples and be thinking about your next paper.

3. TWFTD:  none
