Use it to study for the integrated writing test tomorrow.

October 9, 2014 PowerPoint

Homework:

• Go to a tutor for your paper
• Fix your drafts so they show your best work for the final draft 
• Take your vocabulary midterm 
• Take your integrated writing test
• NO JOURNAL! (And the peasants rejoiced!)

Lab Day

Welcome to class today! There are 3 required activities that you will need to complete, and then you can take the rest of the time to revise and edit your essay.

Please remember to read all of these instructions carefully so that your essay will be the best that it can be! 

1. Take this survey about your homework from last night:

• Homework Check - October 8th 

2. Check how many academic words you use in your essay using the Academic Word List Checker. 

*You will need be able to copy and paste the text of your latest draft (Draft 2), so make sure that you have downloaded it from turnitin.com or have it available on a flash drive or from your email.

1. Go to http://www.lextutor.ca/vp/eng in a new tab or window.
2. Copy the text of your essay (not reference page).
3. Delete the words in the big white box labeled "MAIN TEXT"
4. Paste the text of your essay into the "MAIN TEXT", and click the yellow "SUBMIT" button.
5. On the left hand side of the screen, there are the yellow words "Academic Words (academic)." Next to that, in the 4th column is a percentage. This is the percent of academic words in your essay.
6. Write down the percentage at the end of your essay like this: AWL 7.6%. For your final draft you will need at least 7% of your essay to be academic words. If you have lower than 7%, you can look over your essay when you start to revise it. 

3. Try to put your essay in APA format as best as you can. 

We've talked about APA references, but part of an essay that is important is the formatting. Formatting is how the paper looks on paper. It makes your paper look nice and people (especially teachers!) will be happier to read your papers if they are formatted correctly.

Correctly-Formatted APA Essays should have:

• A title page with page numbers
• 1 inch margins (top, bottom, and sides)
• Times New Roman or Calibri font 
• 12 pt font size
• Double-spaced
• No spaces between the paragraphs, just indents

I am not expecting you to be perfect with this, but I want you to try to put your paper in APA format today.

• APA Paper Template - This is a template, which means that it has the correct framework for your essay, but it doesn't have the actual essay. You can use it to start the formatting for your own paper. I would suggest downloading this, and then putting your essay into the format that is set up already for you. This has a perfect example of a Reference page.

•  The Most Effective Economic System - This is a sample Compare/Contrast paper (with correct APA formatting) so you can see how the template looks with an essay in it. :)

Rest of Class Time:
When you finish the two activities above, work on revising your essay. You can use the feedback from Draft 1, Draft 2, and your peer review to revise. Here are some things to think about before you turn your paper in:

• Thesis Statement: Do you have a purpose and points of comparison? (see page 155 for help on purposes, and page 156 for example thesis statements)
• Paragraphs: Do you have information and facts to support your ideas? Are your paragraphs organized clearly with transition words? 
• Purpose: Did you include your purpose in EACH paragraph? Usually this is the concluding sentence of each paragraph.
• References and citations: Do you have three references? Do you have an in-text citation for each reference? Did you correctly cite and reference? (Refer to class handouts and teachers comments)

Final Draft Requirements:

• Yellow Rubric, Tutor Form, Peer Review (Packet) – Due Friday 5pm, in my box in Rm 103.
• Final Draft – Due Friday 5 pm, on turnitin.com
• Title Page (1 page)
• Main essay (at least 2 pages)
• At the end of the essay, show the AWL %
• References page (1 page)

***If you have done all of the 3 activities and revised your essay, you can:

• Study for your Academic A Vocabulary List 3 Quiz tomorrow
• Collocates found in your packet in the third section
• Study the practice quiz you took today
• Check your grades on Micrograde. You can go straight to Micrograde from the "Grades" tab at the top of this blog.
• Sign up for your first Integrated Writing Test in the lab for this Friday. Remember that this is a practice test, but you still need to do your best. You will need to sign up like you did for your 30-minute essay: elc.byu.edu/testSignup

Additional Support Websites:

• Types of Economic Systems (website). Shmoop.com - this is student help website that has a lot of information on different topics. This information is more detailed.
• Types of Economic Systems (PowerPoint). This is a PowerPoint that is available through a slide sharing site. The information is basic.
• Comparative Economic Systems (website). This is also a student help website specifically for social studies and subjects relating to them. The information is the most detailed.

Paragraph Example: 

Topic Sentence: The first of the similarities between these two systems is the motivation for progression. 

Support:

Command system- 

• The citizens have little to no motivation to work
• U.S.S.R. citizens
• No real change in economic values
• sustainable with little to no surplus

Traditional system- 

• There is motivation to work, but not to change.
• African societies
• Economy is based on necessity
• No more or no less, sometimes even lack

Paragraph: 

The first of the similarities between these two systems is the motivation for progress. In the command system, citizens have little to no motivation to work because there is no room for upward mobility. In the U.S.S.R., the citizens were not able to change social status or position once placed in a job--often staying in the same job they were assigned their entire lives. This created a lack of incentive to be good at their jobs, because there was no reason to be better. This also caused a deep divide in the classes furthering the lack of motivation. Another reason for the lack of motivation came through the lack of change in economic values, or supply and demand, because the command system's purpose to create sustainability with little to no surplus. On the other hand, in the traditional system, there is incentive to work because the citizens must work in order to survive, but there is no motivation to change the way things are done. This can be seen in some African societies where there is an order of things done the same way for centuries. This can be seen as a positive thing, except when there is no progression in technology because no change has occurred. This can also be perpetuated by the economic property of the necessity of the commerce created in a traditional system, owing to the fact that these economies sometimes lack some of the essential citizens' needs. All in all, the systems are similar because of the little progress made due to the lack of motivation.

Classwork and Homework

Today, we first looked at "building block" and "thrown in the deep end" styles of learning,  and then we reviewed topic sentences. Next, we learned about developmental paragraphs as well as paragraphing. In paragraphing, we learned about how to identify and organize different elements of a paragraph. We worked on a paragraphing worksheet that helped us identify the parts, and then went over the correct answers with the key. 

• Paragraphing worksheet
• Paragraphing worksheet key

Here is the PowerPoint that we used today in class. 

Homework: 

1. Read “Support” pg. 23-24 in your textbook.
2. Complete the back ("Practice Exercise") of the yellow paper “Body Paragraph Writing”

OUTLINE EXAMPLE:

Compare/Contrast Outline—Point-by-Point

Topic: Economic Systems

2 Items: Command system and traditional system

3 Sub Topics: Motivation for progression, opportunities given to individuals, citizens already given set roles 

Introduction

            Thesis – Although command and traditional economic systems are different in how they function, they are actually similar in their treatment of individuality in their citizens in that motivation for progression is low, the opportunities given to individuals are little to none, and that citizens are already given set roles in society.

Sub topic 1 - Motivation for progression
Item 1 – Command system

Item 2 – Traditional system

Brainstorming – In U.S.S.R. in the 70s & 80s = low motivation to get better; societies in Africa are unchanging and have no upward mobility; no room for a person to move up

Sub topic 2 - Opportunities given to individuals

Item 1 – Command system

Item 2 – Traditional system

Brainstorming – Very limited to what a person can do, citizens have little to no rights, and can be punished for their "disobedience" to the system.

Sub topic 3 - Citizens have a set role in society
Item 1 – Command system

Item 2 – Traditional system

Brainstorming – In Inuit societies, they needed to depend on skill, and depended on those with skill but the average person wouldn't be able to provide.
