Seemed like we didn't have a lot of time today. Well, I guess that's because we didn't. But anyway, time did fly. In the time we did have we looked at several TIPP examples today and here are the major takeaways:
-works cited needs to be in alphabetical order
-in works cited entries titles of articles, books, and websites all need to be either in quotation marks,
underlined or italicized; if you are not sure which one to use, ask someone who knows or look it up on
OWL
-if you are quoting something that is opinion based then you need to identify the source so the reader can
make a judgement on his or her credibility
-be sure that your body paragraphs offer convincing arguments on influence
-a variety of sources is best
-close each argumentative paragraph by returning to the claim (emphasizing the influence)
-use topic sentences and transitional topic sentences
Tomorrow is peer edit day. Be sure to bring a clean updated copy into class. We can either pair up and edit or I can run the class through a step-by-step examination of the paper. Your choice.
The better the paper you bring in tomorrow, the more helpful tomorrow will be. Work hard tonight so that tomorrow will be beneficial.
We had to drop irony from our discussion today due to the shortened schedule but I still want you thinking about it daily. You will be having an assignment over it soon and I think it would be a good idea to quiz you over it as well. We'll talk about it a bit more first but it's coming. Hi, Renee.
Quick:
offer a definition of irony
identify the three types
define each type and offer an original example of each
Can you do the above? Great! If not...
See you soon.
