Using Turnitin

I return the Summary/ Evaluation/ Response paper.

Next week on Tuesday you will be writing the In-Class Assessment Essay. You can see information about it in Moodle if you want to do the reading over the weekend. Otherwise, there will be time in class Monday to read the essay.

Clear Thinking

      
Groups will read and discuss what you have for today. If you have nothing written, you will still participate by talking about your problem/ solution.

You will gather in groups of three or four. One person is the "writer," one person is the "leader," and one person is the "scribe."

The writer will read his outline to the group. He may also explain points as he goes and talk about what he is thinking for the full paper.

The leader will read the questions to the group and lead discussion.

The scribe will write down the group's ANSWERS to the questions in HIS daybook.

You will rotate and everyone will take the next role. Writers should note down useful suggestions from the group on their outline.

Written evidence from today's class will be answers in the daybook and notes on your outline.

Homework:

1. Read pages 40-43 in The Bedford Guide.

2. On Thursday a full, typed draft of this paper is due.
