Draft #2 of the Interview Paper

You read each other's drafts.

Homework:

1.  Revise your paper.  The final version is due Friday.

2.  For tomorrow, have electronic access to your short essay about observation.  I have a hard copy, but you will have the opportunity to improve it during class tomorrow.

Revising

I return your Observation papers.  Read all comments carefully, and then in your daybook:

 1. List 2 strengths of the paper.  If you think there was a strength that I didn't point out, list it.
 2. List 2 weaknesses of the paper.
 3. Put the number of errors of each type you had labelled in your margins:                 
             c.s.
             frag. 
             r.o.
             sp. 
 Then we'll discuss your homework reading,"The Color of Love."  
 Then you get out your first draft of the interview and your transcript.  In the transcript underline two direct quotes that show the personality or some interesting aspect of your subject. In the draft underline or indicate one place where a direct quote would be appropriate.  How do you correctly punctuate quotations?
