Pick up your daybooks.
I return your Kickstarter papers. Kickstarter is in the news....Number 1 Number 2 Number 3
Answer some questions about your Kickstarter.
Problem: people are getting scammed on Kickstarter.
Thinkwrite:
What are the causes of this problem? How serious is the problem?
What are some possible solutions?
We talk.
Now open your paper that is due tomorrow in Turnitin. You have time to ask for help with editing issues.
1. Is EVERY MLA detail taken care of?
2. Let's check the rubric to see if you are meeting the assignment.
Homework:
1. Final Version of your Summary/Evaluation/ Response is due. Bring all drafts and comment sheets to class. Be sure to have your Works Cited page printed with the paper.
2. TWFTD: caveat emptor in OED.
3. ASEP/MOPAR: your paper is due in Turnitin tomorrow. You are to fill out two comment sheets, that I hand out today, about someone's draft (trade with each other outside of my class). A hard copy with those comment sheets is due this Thursday, May 15. Your daybook is due this Friday.

Draft #2 of Summary/Evaluation/Response with Feedback
Open the efile of your draft and The Bedford Guide.
NOW we are going to go FULL MLA ON YOUR PAPER. Every single person should get 10/10 on the MLA score for this paper. That includes a correct Works Cited page, the format of the paper, and citing the source as you write.
After every quote, add in the page number from the book where that quote appears in the text, like this:
When Zinsser says he wants to "put in a word for the fink," I am confused (624).
Schor gives us a few options for thinking about the collection of "malcontents" that she describes. She guesses that we might think they are "funny, pathetic, or reprehensible" (635).
Note that the period is outside the ( ).
Are you quoting someone else who was quoted by your author? This is tricky; be careful and ask for help if you are not sure, but DO make it clear who said what.
CLICK SAVE. Submit this draft into Turnitin in Moodle.
If you have NO quotes in your paper, that's a problem.
Now you get in the same groups as Wednesday, and read and comment upon two drafts.
Hand in daybooks at the end of class.
Homework:
The final version of this paper is due Tuesday May 13.
