Solo Project #2 Due: "Lazy Eyes"

We create a Works Cited page for both versions of Agger. Print (add your last name to the header).


Print your paper to hand in. Open a copy of your paper on the computer.  We do things to it.

Now name that new version of your paper Agger with colors, save it, and upload it into Turnitin in Moodle.

I hand out the assignment sheet for the next paper.  You need to skim the articles, choose one, and read it for Monday.  If you wish to improve your "Lazy Eyes" paper, you may, and hand it in Monday.

Homework:

1. Read ONE of the articles in Bedford listed on the pink sheet. Feel free to write in the book to comment/question it.

2. TWFTD: intellectual property (as a phrase).

3. Are you a dog or a wolf?

Sentence Practice

Hopefully, you have some idea what I mean now if I ask you to write a compound sentence or a complex sentence. This is just nomenclature.

As practice, fix the following run-on sentence four different ways. In other  words, there are two ICs stuck together. Use conjunctions or punctuation to correct:

Education is an elusive word it often means different things to different people.

Work on paper due tomorrow.

NOTE: Tomorrow at the beginning of class I will walk you through creating a Works Cited page that cites BOTH the print and the online versions of this article. To get to use this page (as an extra page) your paper MUST mention the existance of BOTH versions of the article.

Homework:

1. Your Solo Project #2 is due tomorrow. Remember, print it out to proofread it. Read it OUT LOUD. Look for the kinds of errors I found in your last paper. Then fix and print again.

2. TWFTD: elude in OED.

Preventing CS, RO and FRAG

We look at my summary/evaluation/response. Topic sentences of paragraphs? Transitions (Bedford page 435)?

Now: Grammar.

First, here's a quick review of conjunctions.

Now, copy down my "blueprints" of sentence types.

Your mission: go through this Prezi about sentence types. There are TWO daybook exercises built in to the Prezi. THEN use the Prezi to figure out how to lable the "blueprints" using IC and DC. Also name each drawing as either simple, compound, complex, or compound/complex.

Homework:

1. Your Solo Project #2 about Agger is due Friday.

2. Spend time at the Slate version of Agger's article. Click on EVERY hyperlink, and mark in Bedford which ones are dead. ALSO click around Slate to look at the articles there. Do you see any of what Agger describes going on?

3. Use your page of notes about the article and read the assignment sheet again. Then begin writing a draft. Figure out what you think about Agger's ideas and his writing.

4. TWFTD: a word of your choice from "Lazy Eyes." Give the quote from the article.

Summary/ Evaluation/ Response

You turn in your papers.

Read Pat Bourne. Answer questions.

We discuss.

Write a paragraph of summary.  Write a paragraph of your reaction.

Take mine home and read it.

Here's the assignment sheet for your Solo Paper #2. "Lazy Eyes" is also online -- see Moodle.

Homework:

1. Read the example paper I handed out today.

2. Take a page of notes about the Agger article. Use two columns to record the content and your reaction to it.
