Draft #2 of Summary/ Evaluation/ Response

Your Solo #2 is returned.

Questions:

1. After looking at your scores and the comments, what is one strength of this paper?

2. What is a major weakness?

3. What is one thing you need to do better as you write your next summary/response?

We look at an example.

You upload your Draft #2 into TurnItIn in Moodle.

You will get into the same groups and read/comment on Draft 2 of your Summary/Eval/Response papers.

Homework:

1. Look at the comments on your paper and work on the final version of this paper, due Wednesday. We will use TurnItIn during class tomorrow, so there will be time for questions/issues.

Draft #1 Summary/ Evaluation/ Response

Remember the example paper I wrote about the Pat Bourne article?

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. Draft #2 is due Monday. Get it as complete as possible; Draft #2 will be uploaded into TurnItIn, an e-service that will show you how well you are paraphrasing and quoting material in the article.

2. Before you leave, score and hand in your daybook.

Sentence Building

Thinkwrite: Think of something -- a model of truck/car, a movie, a product -- that you strongly dislike. Please describe it right now in neutral, objective terms. Be as objective and unbiased as possible. After a time I will call time, and you may shift to a subjective description of the same topic.

We go over Ex. 25.2 using a moodle forum.

Next, we review page 386 in The Everyday Writer. Using that information, do Ex. 37.1 page 390. You may either write it in your daybook or type it, but do copy out the sentences completely. You have to do each one TWO different ways.

Homework:

1. Tomorrow Draft #1  is due of your summary/ evaluation/ response paper.

2. Daybooks will be turned in also.

3. TWFTD: your choice from your article.
