Final Version Due

Hand in your final Long Essay.

What about "Amerika"?  Thinkwrite, please, if you did not on Monday, what you think the point of this music video is.

Then what I think.

Then.  Remember watching TED?  We watch this.  

What is Mike Rowe's point?  What does he want to do?

Homework:

1.  Copy two quotes by Mike Rowe from this video into your daybook.  Use the "interactive transcript" feature beside the video to do this.

2.  TWFTD:  Machiavellian

3.  Here are the two prompts to think about for Monday.  You will write on one:

A.  "Getting it wrong" happens to everyone.  In fact, there are benefits to making mistakes.  What are those benefits?  Or what is necessary in order to experience the benefits of a mistake? 

B.  There seem to be few young people interested in the kinds of dirty jobs Mike Rowe listed.  He says there are "forgotten benefits" to hard work.  Do you agree?  Can you describe them?  Or if you disagree, explain why.

Editing

We watch a video.

We check the answers for Ex. 33.6.

Edit your papers.  Use TurnItIn and ask me about issues. I will subtract 2 points for any misspelled there/their/they're. Italicize and capitalize names of magazines.  Watch pronouns.

Draft #2

In your experience/expectations, is "real world" writing more or less like yesterday's exercise?

You read drafts.  Read the draft BEFORE you look at the ads.
