1. Finding coordination and subordination. Look at the last paragraph of "Communications" on page 84 in Bedford. I see two examples of coordination and one ( and a hard-to-find second) example of subordination. In your daybook, copy down the words you think are doing coordination and subordination between full clauses [with a couple of the words around them].
2. Editing using TurnItIn: Open your Draft 2 in the TurnItIn assignment where you submitted it yesterday, and think about fixes to apply to your draft. Think about RE-WRITING (Transforming!) sentences that are confusing, overly long, or marked up in mysterious ways.
What's a C/S or comma splice? It's a run-on made WITH a comma. It's a comma missing the FANBOYS word. It's a comma that should be a period.
Also, do your paragraphs make sense as units of organization?
Do you have a hook?
Homework:
1. Continue editing your paper. The final version will be handed in with ALL DRAFTS on Friday.

The OED and Sentence Variety
The OED and "punk."
Sentence variety: Everday Writer pages 287-294. What is coordination and subordination?
Let's see what you already know. You write some sentences. Then you make changes.
We look at them. Then you look in your Draft #1 for examples.
If there's time, we look at this.
Homework:
1. Draft 2 due, both 2 paper copies and an electronic copy to submit in TurnItIn.
2. TWFTD: "punk" from the OED. You must choose a quote used in the OED, give the year only (not the source, unless you wish to), and give the definition that matches that quote.
