Final Version Due of Problem/ Solution with Sources

Last questions?  You will hand in the old Problem/ Solution paper WITH this paper and its comment sheets.

Then we do a handbook exercise.  We watch Mike Rowe at TED.

After we watch the video, write this thinkwrite:

What is the main problem Mike is presenting? Do have any ideas for solving this problem?

Homework:

1. Daybooks are due on Monday. The Search Log is worth the most points for this check. There is one loose page as well (report of an online exercise score).

Reading Drafts

Today you read each other's drafts of the Problem/ Solution with Sources.

Also, upload your draft in Turnitin. Hmmm, will it come back matching your other paper?  May be a problem....

Homework:

1. Proofread, make corrections, and prepare the Final Version to hand in tomorrow, Friday [Diesel Farm hand in Monday].

2. If you need daybook points, spend time working on the Search Log in your daybook.

Human brain at work.(not to mention the body as well)

Thinking About Sources

First, some thinking time. Like Sherlock Holmes thinking.  The kind of thing the internet makes you do all the time.

Pick one of the following graphics of information to study closely:

Peoplemovin.

Wind map: http://hint.fm/wind/

The  world's LAND MAMMALS by weight.

Wealth and health of nations over time. Click play arrow and it moves....

In your daybook, describe which site you're looking at. How trustworthy do you think the information is that is presented? What can you figure out about the source of the data and its presentation. Explain.

Now you have time for working on your Problem/ Solution paper with Sources. Keep the Search Log in your daybook when you are looking for sources.

Homework:

1. The only Draft is due tomorrow, Thursday Mar. 13. [Except for Diesel Farm.]Have both in-text citations and a Works Cited page so readers can help you get it right.

2. The draft will be uploaded to Turnitin. We are looking for a match of MORE than zero but less than 15% (ish).
