Class #11

We do some grammar.

We read a handout about Pat Bourne, and groups do some work on it. This is to illustrate the two kinds of summary that one may be expected to perform.

The Five Paragraph Essay. See the end of Tuesday's post for links.

Peer Review on Draft #1 of your Summary/Response essay.

Once again, if there is time, we'll do a rhetorical analysis of this.

Homework:

1. Create Draft #2 of your Summary/Response essay. For this draft you should have a clear introduction and a satisfying conclusion.

2. Read in Reid pages 216-222. This is to prepare for the NEXT paper.

3. In your journal be sure that your error lists are complete for both the Remembering and the Observation papers. On your list you should have labeled what errors the numbers from the "Top Twenty" list refer to. Did you have fewer errors in the second paper? Remember, for this next paper comma splices, run-ons and fragments will cost you two points each.

4. Two vocabulary words.
