Thinking about Sum/Eval/Response

Open the forum in Moodle where you turned in the paper you highlighted yesterday.

You are going to open and read the paper of the PERSON BELOW YOU IN THE FORUM.

Look at their colorized version; find whatever is different from your version.

Click on "REPLY" to their post. In your reply, describe what was different from your version.

THEN explain WHY this might be. Include whether one version is correct or whether there is room for different ways of looking at it.

Time to work on the paper due tomorrow.

[ASEP and MOPAR, you get the next assignment sheet.]

Homework:

1. Write and revise your paper about "Lazy Eyes" due tomorrow.

2.Bring access to the electronic file of your finished paper. Do NOT print before class.

2. TWFTD: your choice from "Lazy Eyes" again.

Working at Summary/Eval/Response

Now you are going to highlight my example essay that you saved yesterday with your name in the file name.


1. Highlight the first and last sentences with red. The first should be a hook. The last is a “clincher.”

2. Italicize the title and author of the article.

3. Highlight all of the summary with yellow.   
 

4. Highlight any evaluation of the writing with green.
 



5. Highlight any response to the article with pale blue. 
 

6. Underline any quotes. These are places that usedthe exact words of the article.

7. 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 yellow assignment sheet. Special attention to what is OBJECTIVE and what is SUBJECTIVE in this assignment.

Now work on taking notes about Agger in your daybook, and then begin writing your essay.

Homework:

1. Be working on your Summary/Evaluation/Response paper about "Lazy Eyes."

2. TWFTD: your choice from "Lazy Eyes."
