Solo #2 Due

A. First of all, we use EasyBib to create a Works Cited page for this paper.

B. Print a copy of your Solo #2 to hand in.

C. Now you are going to highlight the final version and post it in a reply to your post from Friday. So the two versions will both be posted in the forum in Moodle; your final version will be color-coded.

Please do a SAVE AS to create a NEW VERSION of your Final Version. If you find corrections to the final version that you want to make, do so by writing on the hard copy. That's fine with me.

1. Italicize the sentence in your paper where you gave the title and author of the article you are writing about.

3. Make your  thesis green.

4. Make the summary yellow.   

5. Make your response to the content of the article pale blue. 

6. Underline any quotes. These are places that used the exact words of the article.

7. Make BOLD any time you used the author's name  or "the author" or "the article"– these are your author tags.

When you are done, please post this in the forum. Click on the title of your post yesterday, then click on the reply button. You decide what goes in the title/message boxes.

Hand in the hard copy, paper-clipped to the yellow rubric.

Now about Paper with Feedback #3. See the handout.

Bedford Ch. 2.


Homework:

1.  Look at the reading choices and choose which article you will write the next paper about. Read the whole article. Begin the note-taking process.

2. TWFTD: sinister in OED.

Write Solo #2 -- A Timed Writing Practice

Put the normal heading on a paper, and write up a summary/ response essay about the article you read.

Key Elements from the yellow sheet:

1. Make up your own title.
2. Have a hook.
3. Later in your introduction, mention the title AND author of the article.
4. At the end of your intro, state your own point about the reading. (Thesis statement.)
5. Spend one paragraph summarizing the article objectively. Use author tags. (According to Staples...)
6. Spend a couple paragraphs explaining your opinion or reaction to the article. Use short quotes to support your reaction.
7. Finish your essay with a concluding paragraph. Revisit your hook? Point us in a new direction?

At the end of class, you will submit what you have written into a forum.

Homework:

1. You may take this essay home and rewrite, if you wish. Tomorrow you turn in a hard copy to be graded with the yellow rubric.

2. TWFTD: your choice from your article, using the OED.

Getting Ready for Solo #2

Now you read an example essay that is doing summary/ response (download from Moodle, do "Save As"  and add YOUR LAST NAME to the file name).

Then colorize YOUR copy of the essay, using these directions:

1. Make the first and last sentences in the paper red. The first should be a hook. The last is a “clincher.”

2. Italicize the title and author of the article I'm writing about.

3. Make the thesis orange.

4. Make the summary yellow.   

5. Make any response to the content of the article pale blue. 

6. Underline any quotes. These are places that used the exact words of the article.

7. Make BOLD any time I used “the writer”  or "the author" or "the article"– these are called author tags (and would have used a name if there was one on this article).

When you are done, go to Moodle to upload your colorized version in the forum there. Be sure to follow the instructions so that you answer the required questions as you post.

What's a thesis statement? What was yours for Solo #1? Copy into your daybook.

Does my thesis statement have context/subject/claim?  Does yours?

Now, read and take notes (objective/subjective)  over the reading you have chosen. During class on Monday you will type or handwrite Solo #2, a summary/response essay about the reading of your choice. (Bring earbuds, if you wish.)

Homework:

1. Read your chosen reading through several times and be ready to write about it during class. Look at the assignment sheet to help you know how to write this essay.

2. TWFTD: your choice from the article you're reading, using the OED. Find the definition that matches how the word is used in your article.
