In an article titled "Surfing Savant," writer Paul Solotaroff describes surfer Clay Marzo's amazing surfer powers and frustrating social deficits.
The sentence above cites a source. Please write a sentence of your own that inserts your article title and your author, describing the article and citing it in one sentence. For the Summary/Response paper, you MUST have a sentence that gives us both the title AND the author. You are summarizing later, so the rest of the sentence is up to you.
Now you read and comment on drafts.
When you are done, upload your draft in Moodle in the Summary/ Response section. There are two parts; try to choose Part 1. You can use Part 2 to upload again after changes, if you wish.
Homework:
1. Read in Bedford pages 467-472.
2. TWFTD: unambiguous in OED which requires that you look up ambiguous.

A Works Cited Page
I return your Long Observation Paper. Do the following:
1. Copy down the strengths and weaknesses according to Kate.
2. Describe one weakness that you hope to work on in the S/R paper.
3. List a count for all c/s, r/o and frag. IF THERE ARE NONE, count your sub/coord commas. IF THERE ARE NONE, draw a happy face.
Let's look at MLA style citation. You'll see this again for the last paper, but here is an introduction.
For the Summary/ Response 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.

Summary/ Response Draft 1 Due
Bring two copies of your Draft 1 to class.
As you read, keep thinking: do I know who said THIS? Do I know whose idea THAT is?
AND most of all, do I know what the article's title and author was, and what it was about?
You should also see that the summary is objective, and the reponse is subjective.
Turn in your daybooks.
Homework:
1. Make changes. Draft 2 is due on Wednesday, both on paper and in Turnitin.
2. TWFTD: synthesis in OED (In next daybook check.)
