Honors: Well, I guess I shared some good news for many of you today. Due to some citation errors I noticed in papers and miscommunications in class, I decided to extend the due date for the Defend Your Position paper to Thursday. Hopefully, our discussion today clarified what is expected.
As a recap, you need to identify the sources you are using to establish their credibility and then cite the evidence that the sources shared. Then you should offer a works cited at the end of the paper.
If you have questions, check out the OWL or ask me.
We started our nonfiction presentations today and while they have been pretty good, the biggest concern has been differentiating between the sources and the evidence. The source is the person or the book or the journal. The evidence is what is shared by the person, the book or the journal.
We'll continue with three or four more tomorrow.
Standard: We took a close look at a paper today to see what is working and what is not working so far. You seem to be starting your paragraphs off with an argument, sharing evidence and unpacking the evidence well. Don't forget to tie it back to the claim.
We also looked at identifying those sources and citing that evidence. We discussed the OWL and how to effectively and efficiently use it.
Tomorrow you should have a polished draft printed off and brought to class for peer sharing and editing.
