Classwork and Homework

Today in class, we started off with a quiz on the Academic A Vocabulary List 7, focusing on synonym groups and definitions. Next, we talked about paraphrasing, what it is, and how to do it effectively. Next, we practiced with a quote, changing it to a paraphrase as a class. Lastly, we went over general and APA formatting for the final draft. The PowerPoint for today is in the link below.

The original quote and the class paraphrases we completed are below, so you can see your excellent work:

• Original: “The Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is our source of heat and it exerts tremendous control on our climate.” (“Captain Cousteau,” 1990, para. 5)

• 12:15 class: Since the sun is the origin of warmth to the earth, in contrast, the Antarctic is the largest cause of cooling in the world, and has significant power on weather and temperature. (“Captain Cousteau,” 1990)

• 1:30 class: As the sun is the origin of warmth on the earth, the most significant provider of cooling is the Antarctic, and it considerably impacts our weather and temperature (“Captain Cousteau,” 1990).
