Practicing Sentence Variety

1. Everyone should have their paper uploaded in Moodle (Turnitin). Go there and open your paper to view the Turnitin document viewer. I show you what you can do there and how to use it to help you proofread and revise your paper.

2. Practice subordination and coordination. You are going to do TWO exercises in Everyday Writer. They are Ex. 25.1 page 289 and Ex. 25.2 page 292. You should type them out and take advantage of Word's help to make sure that you are creating legal sentences. This will be included in the NEXT daybook check.

Follow the book's directions EXCEPT NOTE: For the second exercise, you do NOT have to put everything into one sentence. Some would be too long and awkward. And you can drop words/phrases that would be repeated.

3. I will pass out the daybook score sheet, and you check off next to the work that you completed.

Homework:

1. Finalize your Kickstarter on Paper. The final version, with all drafts and purple sheets, is due Tuesday April 29.

2. If you did not finish Ex. 25.1 and 25.2 (above), do so.

Draft #2 Kickstarter on Paper

Beginning with this paper, you will upload your Draft #2 into Turnitin, an  online service that does back-up proofreading and plagiarism checking.

Go to our class in Moodle, click on the link in the Kickstarter on Paper section, and upload your paper.

You'll read two drafts today, also. Get out the purple Writer's Page to put on top of your Draft #2. I'll hand out 2 new comment sheets to clip behind it.

Before you exchange drafts, I want you to look through your own paper. Find an example of a sentence that uses coordination (comma-fanboys) and underline it. Then find an example of a sentence using subordination and underline with a wavy line.

Homework:

1. Daybook Check #2 is tomorrow. Have all loose handouts included to turn in with your daybook.

2. Be sure to get your draft uploaded to Turnitin in Moodle.

3. TWFTD: emphasis in OED.  How has the meaning of this word changed?

Sentence Variety

I return the Lego papers. The stapled portion is the part to keep for page count.

A. In your daybook:

1. On which line across the rubric did  you lose the most points?   Why?

2. On which line across the rubric did you get closest to 100% of available points?  Why? [If you got 100% in more than one category, congratulations. List them and explain how you did it!]


B. Get out your draft from yesterday, and count the number of words in the first three sentences. You will write the three numbers in a row on the board.

So? Open up The Everyday Writer to pages 311-313.


C. Now, combine the following sentences into ONE sentence. You can add, remove, or change words.

3.  a. Students are often tired.       b. Students (often/never) fall asleep in my classes.

Flip back in The Everyday Writer to page 287-292.

D. Click on the following Prezi. You will go through it at your own pace. When you are done, you'll answer the questions below in your daybook.

4. List the coordinating conjunctions.

5. Write a sentence that uses "and" to join two verbs.

b. After I jumped out of bed, I had to call my car pool.
c. They were not happy when I was late to pick them up.

Homework:

Draft #1 Kickstarter on Paper

One hard copy needed of your Draft #1 Kickstarter on Paper. As you give feedback, try to use a different color of ink for comments ON a draft.

What kinds of things does a FIRST DRAFT need feedback on? NOT proofreading...

We get started.

Homework:

1. Read the comments and feedback that you got. If there isn't much there, do you want to email a copy to me for feedback? kloden@southeast.edu

2. Work on Draft #2 due Thursday.

3. TWFTD: persuade in OED.

The Three Appeals

We look at the following powerpoint:

http://fyc.usf.edu/Documents%20Social%20and%20Political%20Arguments/Logos%20Ethos%20Pathos%20Powerpoint.ppt from here.

You do the handout.

Remember, your Kickstarter on paper has one purpose: to get your audience to sign up for one of your pledge offers. You are persuading us to part with our money. How will you do that?

Homework:
 
1. Have Draft 1 ready for tomorrow.
 
2. TWFTD: rhetorical in OED.
