I return your Problem/ Solution papers. Any questions? You should ask me about any comments I made on your paper that you don't understand, since I expect you to take action and revise for the paper due this Friday.
Tomorrow is the In-Class Shared Essay.
You have the reading assignment. The reading is in Bedford, and there is a PDF of it in our class in Moodle.
You have time right now to re-read the article and make a page of notes in your daybook. Fold a page in half. On one side give it the heading "Jones' Points." On the other side write the heading, "My Thoughts."
Read, think, and make notes.
Tomorrow when you come to class I will hand out a prompt, which will give you a choice between TWO OPTIONS for an essay about the reading. Be sure to meet the assignment of the prompt you choose.
If you want to hand write your essay tomorrow, buy a bluebook in the bookstore.
Homework:
1. Be ready to write about "Violent Media is Good for Kids."
2. Be working on your Problem/ Solution with Sources. The only draft is due Wednesday and should have a Works Cited page AND in-text citations.
3. TWFTD: your choice from "Violent Media is Good for Kids."

MLA Style Once More
You hand in Solo Paper #3 with rubric.
We review what will be required for your Problem/ Solution with Sources paper.
Here's a prezi: http://prezi.com/qmf4siv3xukj/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share
To practice how in-text citations work with your bibliography, you'll read "My Friend Michelle."
Do the following as you read and write the aswers in your daybook when you are done reading.
1. Underline every in-text citation you see as you read. How many are there?
2. When you read an in-text citation, check to see if it clearly leads to a source in the Works Cited list. List any problems you find.
3. Are there items on the Works Cited list that were NOT used in the paper? List them.
4. This paper is old, so it follows MLA 6. Compare the bibliography to one that you created for this class. What major difference can you find between MLA 6 and MLA 7?
5. If you know the page number where information occurred, you should include that in an in-text citation. Please put a star next to each in-text citation in "My Friend Michelle" that SHOULD have included a page number in parentheses. How many are there? [Hint: use the bibliography to help decide if there were page numbers in the source.]
I will return your graded Problem/ Solution papers on Monday. You will need to make any changes that I point out in corrections before the draft that is due Wednesday. Also on Wednesday you should have BOTH a Works Cited page and in-text citations. They may not be complete, but they should be present to get credit for the draft.
Homework:
1. Read and think about the article assigned for the In-Class Assessment Essay.
2. TWFTD: no word
