Mindmapping Some More

First of all, we look at Turnitin in Moodle. Upload your draft there, to see how it works. You will upload tomorrow's draft into Part 2 by the end of class tomorrow. We are looking for a 5-15% match for this paper. That means you ARE quoting and paraphrasing appropriately.

BTW, are we all clear on the difference between quoting and paraphrasing?

Then you return to your text2mindmap project of outlining Bedford Ch. 22.  When you finish all sections of the chapter, choose DOWNLOAD PDF and print for the next daybook check.

Homework:

1. Draft #2 Summary/ Evaluation/ Response Due. Have it as close to done as possible so that Turnitin will help you.

2. Be ready to upload the efile of your draft into Turnitin in Moodle.

3. TWFTD: your choice from Bedford or article.

Draft #1 Due of Summary/ Evaluation/ Response

I return the Agger summaries. Many people did NOT:

1. Construct an introduction.

2. Mention the source of Agger's information. He was NOT sharing his ideas, he was mostly doing summary/ reaction about Nielson's research.

Fill out the Writer's Page about your draft.

I pass out the comment sheets, and you gather into groups. Read and fill out sheets.

Homework:

1. Work on revising your draft.

2. TWFTD:  your choice from Bedford Ch. 22.

How Writers Develop Their Ideas

Open up The Bedford Guide to Chapter 22.

Now click on this link: https://www.text2mindmap.com/

This chapter is full of information that can help you create a paper AND analyze the writing of others.

Your task is to read and outline this chapter using text2mindmap.  I show you how to use the thing.

The red heading from the book will be headings in the mindmap. Under each you should type at least TWO quotes from the section that are key "explainers" of the heading.

I strongly recommend that you read a section, then type your notes, then go on to the next. We will save and work on these in class again Wednesday.

Homework:

1. Draft 1 due tomorrow of your Summary/ Evaluation/ Response paper.

2. TWFTD: evocative from Bedford Ch. 22.
