Review of coordination and subordination. See 1/24 in your daybook.
I. Combine the following sentences (clauses) four different ways using subordination (p. 239) and coordination (fanboys or a semicolon):
Education is an elusive word.
It often means different things to different
people.
Done correctly, you will have 4 long sentences that say the same thing but are held together differently.
II. Together we create a chart (outline?) of the siblings article.
Now in your daybook, create a graphical representation of your article (or a rough outline). Put paragraph numbers in it (if you are doing Rockwell's, you must number the paragraphs first).
III. Look at pages 42-43 to help you evaluate the evidence.
IV. We review the assignment sheet to see what should be in your draft.
Any time left is for working on the draft due tomorrow. During class tomorrow you will read and write about each other's drafts.

Working on Your Article
We look at consumerism in the OED.
You have annotated?
Analyze the argument. Who's making an argument? What kind of evidence is being provided? Does it in fact support the point? Question EVERYTHING.
Groups: What is the point of the article? Write it across the top of your copy of the article. What evidence is used? Compare and add to your annotations.
Now answer the questions on this handout about your chosen article. Which questions would have objective answers? Which subjective? You can see which would lead to summary and which to analysis. You may work together if you wish.
Being Poor Is....
Homework:
1. Finish the handout, and begin writing your first draft, due Friday. For Friday, you should have BOTH some summary and some analysis in your draft. If you quote from the article, keep it to only part of a sentence.
