Integrated Writing Additional Practice
Please follow these instructions:
- Please open this link in a window--Online Timer. Set the timer for 20 minutes, but DO NOT START IT. Shrink the window so you will be able to see the timer while you are typing.
- Open the document in the IW Additional Practice folder (located in your class folder) called “IW Additional Practice - Writing.” Please write your name and class time in the upper left hand corner.
- Open the document called “IW Notes and Planning” if you want to take notes electronically (optional).
- Your teacher has given you the reading section, face down on your desk. Do not turn it over until she says "Go!" You are free to take notes on it.
- After reading, follow the teacher for the next step. Go back to the IW Additional Practice folder. You will see a sound file titled "IW Additional Practice - Listening." Please listen to it in the preview window OR Open with Quicktime. DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK IT, it will open iTunes and will cause problems.
- After listening, go back to the document "IW Additional Practice - Writing." Start the Online Timer. YOU MUST START THE TIMER AS SOON AS YOU FINISHED THE LISTENING. You have 20 minutes to plan and write your essay.
- When you are finished writing your essay, please select your text and write down the word count in the indicated space in the top left hand corner of the "IW Additional Practice" document.
For the remainder of the time, you can do the following:
- Review your paragraph by looking at your rubric (pg. 2 in the pink packet), and seeing if you have included all of the things you need for the final draft. I have included a list of body paragraph requirements from the rubric below.
- Topic sentences use transitions words and clearly connect to the thesis statement by using key words
- Paragraphs are organized chronologically or logically (there is a reason the body paragraphs are in the order they are)
- Uses basic transitions between paragraph commentary & details as well as between paragraphs to help the reader
- Is clearly a process essay (not a classification or a cause-effect essay)
- Provides support or commentary for each step/element/detail (i.e. by using examples, explanation, warnings, hints, or effects)
- Explains unfamiliar vocabulary words or concepts related to the topic for the reader
- Write another body paragraph for your essay (this is your homework anyway).
- Work on your annotated bibliography (reference page) for your Draft 1 on Friday. Remember that you need 4 reference sources with notes like we have practiced in class. You can create the APA references using the Citation Machine that I showed you in class. The notes need to be in your own words. :) I provided an example of a student's annotated bibliography below.
- Study for your Academic Vocabulary List 9 Quiz tomorrow. You will be tested on collocates, similarly to the quiz we had on collocates before where you choose the correct word to put in the sentence from a box of words. You can study for the collocates with the Quizlet link below.
