Using Databases for Research

1. Return of your Summary/ Evaluation/ Response. In your daybook:
A. What is one strength of this paper?
B. What is one weakness?

2. Meet Mike Mulligan! Which leads to this article.

3. One source of credible material is a library database. (Maybe.)

Go to The Hub and click on the Library (LRC) link in the row of links below the top section.

We will all look at the top two databases, specifically Gale.

I hand out the assignment sheet for the last Solo paper.

You will have time tomorrow to look for and print out an article on your topic.

Homework:

1. Your Final Version Problem/ Solution Paper is due, with all comment sheets and drafts. You should have a Works Cited page if you did consult sources; use EasyBib and be ready to make corrections when the paper is revised for the last assignment.

2. Be looking for an article to read, summarize, and evaluate using the CRAAP test. Best case: choose an article that applies to your Problem/ Solution paper.

2. TWFTD: annotate in OED.

Getting Your Paper in Shape

Let's talk more about the Three Appeals. Worksheet.

Thinkwrite: Consider the advertising you've seen lately. Where are the ads that you actually notice? What is one ad that you remember? Is it using an appeal based on ethos, logos, or pathos? Describe it.

And then there's the problem of HOW you present your facts. If your want to be persuasive for this class, please be sure  to present the facts in as fair a manner as possible. And be sure to deal with the facts that do NOT support your view. [ Can you spot the issues with the graphs in this link? ]

3PM class: do the Drowning punctuation exercise in Moodle.

Open your paper in the TurnItIn document reader and look at matches and grammar mark-up.

Next Tuesday, when you hand this paper in, you will also turn it in electronically into TurnItIn.

You hand in your daybooks today.

Homework:

1. Get your Problem/ Solution paper into final shape to turn in on Tuesday.
