Using Turnitin

I return the Summary/ Evaluation/ Response paper.

Next week on Tuesday you will be writing the In-Class Assessment Essay. You can see information about it in Moodle if you want to do the reading over the weekend. Otherwise, there will be time in class Monday to read the essay.

Here's the link to the reading for Tuesday's In-Class Essay: "Seeking" by Emily Joffe.

Today you use Turnitin and the time to improve your draft.

Resubmit it in Moodle in Part 2, and I will type feedback in for you.

The Final Version is due Monday.

Your daybooks are also due Monday.

Draft #2 Problem/ Solution Due

Thinkwrite:

What about Wikipedia? According to yesterday's prezi, does it pass the CRAAP Test? Do you agree with that assessment?

Fill out the Writer's Page.

Return to the same groups you shared outlines with. Now exchange papers.

Also, upload the efile of your paper to Moodle (Turnitin). Please spread out the times you upload, to see if that improves our success rate.

Homework:

1. The final version of this paper is due on Monday. Tomorrow there will be class time for improving your draft. Pay special attention to the evidence you are using, and how you present it. If the information comes from a source, cite it the best way you know how. You will NOT be graded on MLA details, but you CANNOT plagiarize (using sources without citing them).

2. TWFTD: your choice of a word related to your problem paper.
