Draft 2 P/S with Sources

Today you help each other with citation details. Each person reads two drafts and fills out a comment sheet.

Also, upload your paper into TurnItIn. There you want to check your similarity percentage.  Try to keep quotes at less than 10% of the paper, or discuss them with me.

Homework:

1.  Have your daybook ready to turn in tomorrow.  Include TWO bright yellow handouts: 

1. The Database worksheet and

2. The "Til Death Do Us Part" Reading.

There will be no late daybooks accepted. 

2.  Tomorrow we will watch Mike Rowe, talk about it, and you will get the prompt for Short Essay #5.

 

 

3.  No word.
