Draft #1 Kickstarter on Paper Due

Today is about giving feedback. YOU are the audience, so you need to communicate to each other what YOU find effective.

Note: the blue comment sheets earn YOU points. Be detailed and thoughtful.

ALSO, you may write ON the draft you read with your REACTIONS. This is a rough draft, so DO NOT PROOFREAD or edit -- just provide reactions/ input/ ideas.

Homework:

1. Use today's feedback and get your paper ready for Tuesday, when DRAFT 2 is due. Have Draft 2 be as close to perfect as possible, so people can help with editing and proofreading, as well as organization.

2. If you want MY feedback, send me an email (kloden@southeast.edu) with your draft attached.

3. TWFTD: hoax

Working on Draft #1

I return the Lego papers.

We check Ev. Writer Ex. 23.8 and 23.9.

Thinkwrite: Describe what you are kickstarting on paper. Why should people want to give you money for your product? What are you thinking of for rewards?

Now open a Word file, create the MLA heading,  and llist ALL the Key Elements.  If you've already started this paper, open that file and work on it. At the bottom, list the Key Elements, and delete them as you write them into your paper.

How will you arrange them on the page? What will you CALL them? You are free to play with these in your layout, after the MLA style heading and page numbers. You may make headings font size 14, and text should be 12 or smaller.

You have time to work on the rough draft, due tomorrow.

Homework:

1. First Draft Kickstarter on Paper due tomorrow.

2. TWFTD:  novice (from Everyday Writer)

Spelling

First, we finish the list of Key Elements for your Kickstarter on Paper assignment.

Then thinkwrite:

Rant time -- English spelling is incredibly illogical. What are some very strange spellings you have noticed, or problem words, or words that bug you? Use Everyday Writer Sec. 24 to jog your memory.

What about spellcheck?  Everyday Writer Sec. 23.  Ex. 23.8. Let's test your eyes, your typing, and MS Word. Type it up with corrections and print. Save it in your daybook.

Thanks, memebase.com

Then hand write Ex. 23.9 into your daybook. Number 1 to 13 and only write the correct word down. [Number the blanks in your book to keep them straight.]

Homework:

1. Be working on your Kickstarter On Paper -- remember to get a page of notes done in your daybook. Tomorrow there will be time during class to work on it.

2. TWFTD: mangle OR havoc, you choose.

Solo Paper #1 Due

Don't print yet!!

Open on your computer screen YOUR copy of your paper. Do a "Save As" and add "Color Version" to the name for the paper. Make the following changes to the new file:

1. Make your title red. Are ALL the major words capitalized? [All font size 12. Times New Roman.]

2. Make the introduction and conclusion purple.

3. Make your hook and your clincher bold. They should be about a sentence long. If you haven't got one, don't mark it.

4. Underline the words that refer to key elements  in the kickstarters you discussed.

5. Italicize your thesis (the point of your paper.)

6. Click the "save" icon and close this file.

7. Go to our class in Moodle and click on the forum to turn this color version in.

NOW PRINT your hard copy.

THINKWRITE: Please look back at your group's list of the steps in the writing process, from the second day of class. Think about the process you went through to write THIS paper. Which of those steps on the list did you actually do? What did you find hard/easy about writing this paper?

We shift gears to the Kickstarter on Paper.  I hand out the blue assignment sheet.

You get into groups and come up with a list of the sections that you think every Kickstarter OUGHT to have. These should come from what you observed. These sections or parts of sections are what we're going to call Key Elements for this assignment.

We combine your imput into a CLASS LIST OF KEY ELEMENTS. Everyone will write this onto the purple sheet.



Homework:

1. Write a page of brainstorming notes of ideas for your Kickstarter on Paper. The rough draft, due Friday, should be typed. It should have something in EACH of the Key Elements, but it need not be complete.

2. TWFTD: Your choice from Bedford Ch. 21.

EasyBib for Solo Paper #1

I return the daybooks. We discuss the Language Use in Kickstarter worksheet.

Solo Paper #1 is due tomorrow. Come to class with an electronic copy of the finished paper. Either have it saved on the N drive, or in Moodle files, or attached to an email to yourself. You will hand that copy in using Moodle AND print a hard copy during class. Be sure to bring the purple grading rubric to hand in with your paper.

Thinkwrite: You have been doing some thinking about Kickstarter. Tell me, what do YOU think is necessary to make an effective Kickstarter? Explain. (Note: this is what your paper due tomorrow is about.)

Together we'll use EasyBib to create a Works Cited page for the paper due tomorrow. You are to list any Kickstarters that you discuss in your paper.

Homework:

1. Solo #1 Review of Two Kickstarters is due tomorrow. Bring an electronic copy of the finished paper.You will hand that copy in using Moodle AND print a hard copy during class. Be sure to bring the purple grading rubric to hand in with your paper.

2. TWFTD: provocative (found in Bedford ch. 21).
