November 24 & 25

This post are for both days of Thanksgiving Week, because the classes did different things on different days. So, as you read this post, please look at the parts that pertained to your class. You did one of the following activities today:
  • You went to the lab and did a peer review activity with a higher level class. When going to the computer lab, you were partnered up two times, and you received feedback on content and organization from one partner and on grammar with the other partner.
OR
  • You came to the class and reviewed the things that need to be on Draft 2. You also looked at in-text citations and signal phrases again. Next, we did a Synthesis Writing to show how much we've learned in the semester. Lastly, you learned a little about Thanksgiving and why we give thanks. We finished up the class with a small Thanksgiving writing activity.

Homework:
  • Edit and revise your 1st draft. 
    • This means that you can add to paragraphs or delete unnecessary things, add to your conclusion or introduction, or work on your in-text citations, references and/or grammar using the feedback that you get from your peer review.
    • Use a template to format your paper correctly - APA Format Template 
    • Look at a final draft of a former student - Sample Student Paper 
  • Turn in your Draft 2 by 11:59 pm on Wednesday, November 26
Draft 2 Requirements
You need to have: 
  • 2 pages of text, at least 5 paragraphs (introduction, 3 body paragraphs, conclusion)
    • All body paragraphs written/drafted with sources 
    • Introduction and Conclusion must be fully developed
  • Correct Formatting: Cover Page, Headers with page numbers, Reference Page 
  • References: Generally correct formatting for reference page and in-text citations (you do NOT need the notes from the annotated bibliography, just a reference page)
