Draft 1 Summary/ Analysis

I.  We look at yesterday's run-on.

II.  I return papers to 8 AM. 

One more possibility for Traveller's Credit:  plainswriting.blogspot.com : an actual story for 200 points. It would be more polished than a daybook entry, and you would type it up and attach it to an email to me in order to hand it in.   Non-travellers, a story adds to your page count.

III.  You fill out the Writer's Page about your Draft 1.

IV.  You read and comment on 2 drafts.

Homework:

1.  Revise your draft, due Tuesday May 7.

2.  TWFTD:  no word

Working on your Paper

Grammar:

Review of coordination and subordination. See April 15 in your daybook.

I.  The following is a run-on. Fix it by combining the two clauses four different ways using subordination (p. 290) 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. We review the assignment sheet to see what should be in your draft.

III. Work on the draft due tomorrow. During class tomorrow you will read and write about each other's drafts.

IV. Finish revising the blurbs.  Print. Hand in.

Homework:

1. Finish up your draft. Type it? (Have mercy on your readers.)

2. TWFTD:  elude in OED. Elusive comes from "elude."

Working on Your Article

Hand in your Short Intellectual Property essay.

On the board, commit to an article.

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.

Last of all, we go to the blurb forum, for a revision exercise.  Every blurb needs the author and the title, as well as being correct sentence.  Print when done.

Homework:

1.  Finish the handout, and start writing your First Draft of the Long Summary/ Analysis paper.

2.  TWFTD:  a word from your article with a quote from your article.
