Summary/ Evaluation/ Response and Pat Bourne

You do some writing.

We discuss the Pat Bourne questions.

I hand out the assignment sheet for the next paper.

We look at an example of the kind of writing for the next paper. You read it. Rename a copy of my example paper (found in Moodle) with YOUR last name and save it.


1. Make the first and last sentences in the paper red. The first should be a hook. The last is a “clincher.”

2. Italicize the title and author of the article I'm writing about.

3. Make the thesis orange.

4. Make the summary yellow.   



5. Make any evaluation of the writing green.



6. Make any response to the content of the article pale blue. 


7. Underline any quotes. These are places that used the exact words of the article.

8. Make BOLD any time I used “the writer”  or "the author" or "the article"– any time I used author tags (and would have used a name if there was one on this article).


We discuss how this relates to the  assignment sheet. Special attention to what is OBJECTIVE and what is SUBJECTIVE in this assignment.



Homework:

1. Decide which of the readings you want to write about for the next paper (see handout). You MUST choose one for tomorrow.

2. If you did not finish, post your colorized paper to the forum in Moodle.

3. TWFTD: your choice from Pat Bourne OR Kate's example paper.
