Open your Summary/ Eval/ Response paper in Turnitin (in Moodle). NOW you can click on the middle button and see comments I have made, and see some proofreading by the software.
Use EasyBib to create a Works Cited page.
For your daybook today, find one sentence using coordination and one using subordination from your own paper, and copy them down.
Check your daybook list of errors for the paper returned to you. What should you look for in THIS paper?
Last ten minutes: The next paper you write is called the Problem/ Solution paper. This weekend, as you finish up your Summary/ Eval/ Response paper, be thinking about a problem that you'd like to think more deeply about solving.
Here are a selection of sources that point to problems. You could use one of these, or come up with your own. Note: I prohibit gun-control related papers.

Ch. 22 Continued
Due to the failure of text2mindmap for SOME students, we'll do something a bit different with the same information.
1. Open a Word file, and give it the standard heading for this class.
2. Type in the NINE sections of Ch. 22, and number them.
3. Next to each, you will write a short paraphrase (in your own words) explaining what the section is about. Use one or two COMPLETE sentences.
4. Space, indent, and add ONE quote from that section that also explains what it is about (copy/paste from your mindmap, if you have one).
5. When you have completed this for all nine sections, every section will have a paraphrase and a quote.
6. Save the file where you can access it.
7. Go to Moodle and upload the file into Turnitin, which will be found in the highlighted section of our class. I'll show you how.
8. In Turnitin, hopefully their software will show whether you're doing a good job paraphrasing this chapter.
Tomorrow, you will upload your Draft #2 into Turnitin, so that we can look at it there in class on Friday.
Homework:
1. Prepare Draft #2 of your Summary/ Evaluation/ Response, due tomorrow.
2. TWFTD: revise in OED.

How Writers Develop Ideas
Open up The Bedford Guide to Chapter 22.
Now click on this link: https://www.text2mindmap.com/
This chapter is full of information that can help you create a paper AND analyze the writing of others.
Your task is to read and outline this chapter using text2mindmap. I show you how to use the thing.
The red heading from the book will be headings in the mindmap. Under each you should type at least TWO quotes from the section that are key "explainers" of the heading.
I strongly recommend that you read a section, then type your notes, then go on to the next. We will save and work on these in class again Wednesday.
Homework:
1. Draft 1 due tomorrow of your Summary/ Evaluation/ Response paper.
2. TWFTD: evocative from Bedford Ch. 22.
