A Works Cited Page

I return your Long Observation Paper. Do the following:

1.  Copy down one positive remark by Kate.
2.  List one weakness (in your opinion or Kate's).
3.  List a count for all c/s, r/o and frag.


Let's look at MLA style citation.  You'll see this again for the last paper, but here is an introduction.

For the Summary/ Analysis paper, you are referring to another author's work, so in a school situation, it's correct to provide a bibliography.

In MLA style, the bibliography is called  a Works Cited page.

Let's use EasyBib and make one.  Register (see link on sidebar of blog) and we'll start.


Homework:

1.  Get Draft 2 ready for tomorrow. You should have a hook, thesis, both summary and reponse, and a conclusion.

2. TWFTD:  bibliography in OED.

Draft 1 Summary/ Analysis

I.  We look at yesterday's run-on.

II.  I return papers to 8 AM. 

One more possibility for Traveller's Credit:  plainswriting.blogspot.com : an actual story for 200 points. It would be more polished than a daybook entry, and you would type it up and attach it to an email to me in order to hand it in.   Non-travellers, a story adds to your page count.

III.  You fill out the Writer's Page about your Draft 1.

IV.  You read and comment on 2 drafts.

Homework:

1.  Revise your draft, due Tuesday May 7.

2.  TWFTD:  no word

Working on your Paper

Grammar:

Review of coordination and subordination. See April 15 in your daybook.

I.  The following is a run-on. Fix it by combining the two clauses four different ways using subordination (p. 290) and coordination (fanboys or a semicolon):

Education is an elusive word it often means different things to different people.

Done correctly, you will have 4 long sentences that say the same thing but are held together differently.

.

II. We review the assignment sheet to see what should be in your draft.

III. Work on the draft due tomorrow. During class tomorrow you will read and write about each other's drafts.

IV. Finish revising the blurbs.  Print. Hand in.

Homework:

1. Finish up your draft. Type it? (Have mercy on your readers.)

2. TWFTD:  elude in OED. Elusive comes from "elude."
