Thinkwrite:
So what do YOU think about Wikipedia? How do you use it? Would you ever want to edit it? If you don't trust it, how do you check up on it?
1. Prepare your drafts to exchange. Let's revisit the rubric to see what will earn a good grade in this assignment.
2. Go to the Problem/ Solution Forum in Moodle and post your paper's title (subject) and your thesis statement ( the sentence that states the problem and maybe solutions...).
3. Also, upload the efile of your paper to Moodle (Turnitin). Please spread out the times you upload, to see if that improves our success rate.
Homework:
1. The final version of this paper is due on Tuesday 2 December.
2. Pay special attention to the evidence you are using, and how you present it. If the information comes from a source, cite it the best way you know how. You will NOT be graded on MLA details, but you CANNOT plagiarize (using sources without citing them.
3. Daybooks will be checked Monday Dec. 1.
4. TWFTD: your choice of a word related to your problem paper.

The CRAAP Test
I expect you to use online sources both to explain your problem and defend your solution.
The most important part of that process is taking the time to choose carefully the sources you use.
Use The CRAAP Test when you do so. The CRAAP Test Prezi. Take notes in your daybook.
Print a copy of the CRAAP Test Worksheet from Moodle. Use that sheet to score TWO different sources that you have visited online about your topic. Try to score one that you expect to fail, and one that you expect to pass. In your daybook write a paragraph about EACH source, explaining its score and how/why it passed or failed.
If you have done NO web investigating on your topic, start googling.
Homework:
1. Finish the above activity using the CRAAP Test.
2. Draft 2 of your Problem/ Solution paper is due tomorrow, typed, in essay format.
3. At some point tomorrow you will also turn in the e-file of the paper in Turnitin through Moodle. You will be able to see how you're doing with paraphrasing/quoting source information.
4. TWFTD: relevance in OED see def. #3.
